Apply for the NCAA High School Advisory GroupWe want your opinion!
The NCAA Eligibility Center is accepting applications for six high school administrators, counselors or athletic administrators to serve as members of the NCAA High School Advisory Group. The following explains more about the group and how to apply.
The purpose of the Advisory Group is to review new processes and procedures, as well as brainstorm and discuss ideas, opinions and feedback concerning ways that the NCAA Eligibility Center can improve its service to the high school community. Over the past three years, the High School Advisory Group has helped implement the "Get the Word Out" Grant program, aided in launching the Eligibility Center's redesigned website, provided feedback to improve many of our resources for high schools and helped shape new processes through the High School Portal, such as uploading high school transcripts.
To apply, please submit a resume and 500-word statement describing why you would like to serve as a member of the High School Advisory Group to ec-clientrelations@ncaa.org. Entries must be submitted by Friday, April 26, 2019. Late submissions will not be considered.
Participation in the Advisory Group is a two-year commitment and will require you to participate in monthly teleconferences during the academic year.
