College
Consulting will help simplify the entire American recruiting process
for the opportunity to gain an education and compete against the world’s best.
College Consulting has the experience, networking system, and direct
contact with many coaches to help advise you in choosing a university.
The
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is the governing body of
collegiate sports and sponsors 87 national championships in 22 sports. Almost
24,500 student-athletes (men and women) compete annually for NCAA
titles.
Each year in the United States over 2,000 Universities, Colleges, and Community Colleges offer
athletic scholarships.
An education at these schools is valued between US$80,000-$120,000
(AUS$160,000-$240,000). Scholarships can cover the
cost of education, meals, room, athletic equipment, and medical needs.
These universities schedule tournaments and
competitions throughout each division, and conference affiliation across the
nation. During your collegiate
career, you will have the opportunity to play against current and future
national, world, and Olympic champions, as well as NCAA champions and
All-Americans.
Below is a list of athletes who have benefited from undertaking scholarships in

(PLEASE NOTE:
This list should not be taken to suggest or imply that any of these
athletes are or were clients of College Consulting, or they have provided their
personal
endorsement of College Consulting).

understanding of the American college recruiting process.
Kylie Pratt, Director of College Consulting has both playing and coaching experience
in the United States. As a former All-American golfer, Pratt
participated in a National Championship (finishing 14th in the nation as
team), 3 Regional Championships, won 4
individual collegiate titles and 20 team titles; including one individual and two team conference
victories. As an assistant coach her teams won 11 team titles (2
conference titles), and received 4 invitations to the NCAA regional
tournament.
Pratt is currently a card carrying member of the Futures Golf Tour (Official Developmental Tour of the LPGA), and the
ALPG (Australian Ladies Professional Golf).
Nicole Pratt (Australia's #1 Ranked
Female Tennis Player):
"My only regret in tennis is not applying for a US
athletic scholarship. This would have given my tennis game time to
mature while working towards gaining a degree. A lot of my friends
attended college before turning professional; they include Lisa Raymond,
Erika DeLone, and Kim Po-Messerli. I would recommend this to any tennis
player or athlete who wishes to pursue their dreams of a professional
career while gaining an education".
