Professional school counselors play a role in helping students and families make college decisions. One student group that may have unique challenges are student athletes who wish to compete at the collegiate level. These students have additional requirements, beyond traditional admission procedures, to meet eligibility requirements. The purpose of this article is to provide professional school counselors guidance and best practices to support these students. As requirements may change, it is important that professional school counselors, especially those at the high school level, remain up to date in training and their understanding of specific policies, credit requirements, and timelines to support student athletes.
