NoticeME! - Who Knew?

Did you know that increasing a GPA score by 1 point could mean $5,000.00 more of academic monies towards a college education? If a student-athlete raises their GPA from 3.0 to just a 3.3 score, it can generate an additional $15,000 for that student in academic money towards their college tuition. Can one count on similar type of funds if they raised a batting average by 30 points? Or, raise a basketball scoring average by 10 points? Or, score more goals in a season? Or, raise any athletic stats for that matter? The answer is no.

 

The NoticeME! program offers information most people are not aware of.  We will provide  updates to this page with academic and athletic information to help you stay informed. Join today and have this information available all the time.

"I want to thank you very much for taking the time yesterday to come out to our house to meet with Greg, myself and my wife Kathy. We are all very grateful for your visit and opening our eyes even more to this process. My only regret is that we didn't register with NoticeME earlier in this process. Greg is really a good kid and he is worthy of an opportunity to take his passion for soccer to the collegiate level." - Art Smedberg, parent of Southington High School and Academica Futebol Club student-athlete.

"Perfect program and website to help find a college for your son or daughter.  Great visibility for our daughter to college coaches with a service that provides answers to all our questions with a college consultant, not on some website. Its like having a coach taking you through the college selection process for our daughter." - Pete Marcucilli, parent of Cheshire High School student athlete.

"Overall I thought the event was very good. CSA did a great job and were very interactive with the kids. Just wish more college coaches were there. Thought the number kids that attended were just right. I have been... to other showcases and there were over 100 kids and it makes it tough to focus on certain kids."

“Hello NFS2010 Staff, - I just have to say, my son and I were happy to have gone to our first show case experience. Your program, with emphasis on different issues, was enlightening and inspirational! It was very sincere and honest to my son and me. G.P.A., training, diet, I get it, and I hope my son gets it now and redirects some of his free time to what he really wants in life. He is in 11th grade and was able to talk to the Yale coach individually. Then asked for a business card from the New Haven coach at the end with out any advise from dad. That's a WOW ! in itself. He came back home with more tools to use for later use, of course I re-emphasized what your coaches said some more along the way home. As he progresses from here and forward, I'm sure he will benefit from his experience he got Saturday in the long run as person. I wished his younger brother who is in 10th grade attended but he was very sick at the time. From my son and me, thank you very much to your staff at the Middletown event. Sincerely, Robert Burnham” – Parent of participant.
