If you dissect and process all of the statistics and data surrounding college wrestling scholarships you will realize of all High School sports, wrestling is one of the most limited in availability and amount.  Many wrestlers and families do not understand that a prospective student-athlete can receive a greater financial package at the Division III level via a merit or academic based scholarship, or that a person of color/race/ethnicity can tap into additional qualifying scholarships, or a Division II athlete can receive a package that is tiered over time, or that many new programs have higher packages and lower acceptance criteria then comparable colleges as the program transitions to a full operation.  Our staff, resources, and platform are designed to help assist, educate, and guide you to the best opportunity for the wrestler and family.
