What is a Counselors’ Pick?

CollegeStudentAthletes.com convened a task force of high school counselors to highlight Division III schools that may not be well known but perhaps worth a second look.

"Counselors' Pick" provides in-depth information on the student aspect of the student-athlete, including:

Counselors Say
Offers quotes from college counselors at each school.

Academic Profile
Discusses fields of study and unique programs offered.

Community
Explains both campus life, including extracurricular activities, and the surrounding community.

Admissions and Financial Aid
Provides information on the application process, important dates, and scholarship opportunities.
