Academic success matters.
There is no universal SAT/GPA scholarship formula. Schools set their own standards, and athletic recruiting, grades, course difficulty, financial need and institutional policies all influence aid.
01
Protect your GPA
Strong academics and challenging courses can increase your college options beyond volleyball.
02
Know your fit
Research your intended major, campus environment, budget, academic admissions and roster needs.
03
Plan your funding
Compare academic merit, athletic aid where offered, need-based aid, FAFSA and local scholarships.
Scholarship planning note: The original Wizard recruiting page includes illustrative 2026 SAT/GPA scholarship ranges and examples. They are not guarantees or verified current offers. Confirm eligibility and awards directly with each college.

Make your recruiting count.
The academy's original recruiting advice emphasizes a practical principle: choose colleges that genuinely fit your academics, finances, interests and athletic goals.
- Research academic majors and admission standards before contacting coaches.
- Prepare current game footage and accurate athlete information.
- Communicate directly and professionally with college coaches.
- Understand the differences between divisions and competition levels.
- Choose the right school fit, not simply the most recognizable program.
