WHY WE CREATED THIS
For the past year, we've found ourselves researching school policies, course requirements, NCAA eligibility, college requirements, and other questions while advocating for our own student-athletes.
We've asked questions that didn't always have clear answers and spent countless hours researching information ourselves.
We realized we weren't the only families trying to navigate these systems.
Student-Athlete Advocate was created to help South Carolina families find answers, understand requirements, and advocate for their student-athlete's future.
