MISSION
The Rhinos College Application Program purpose is to assist and mentor our high-school academy members as they navigate the transition between youth rugby and collegiate sport.
We help our athletes understand their college options from a variety of perspectives, and choose the best fit relative to their academics, sports, financial, cultural and career goals.
We are excited to collaborate closely with colleges that are looking to provide a professional recruitment experience to our academy members, as well as to help college coaches connect with our Academy members using an easy to use platform of portfolios and athlete data, to assist in navigating their recruitment efforts.
