Officially, it stands for Athletes, College, Education and Scholarships. Athletes obviously stem from sports, but also include cheer, dance and other activities. However, we are positioned to also offer benefit packages associated with Arts, College, Education and Scholarships, as well as Academics, College, Education and Scholarships. This extension of programs will allow us the opportunity to help positively change the futures of more students no matter what their passions might be.
Yes! In order to help to change the crazy sports culture that has formed in the US and the obsession with winning, personal recognition, and having to get a college athletic scholarship, we turned the system upside down! We said "instead of playing sports to maybe get a scholarship, what if you get a scholarship just for playing sports...even if you are 5 years old?" So, that is what we did. This scholarship, provided in $1,000.00 increments in the form of a college tuition discount, is accepted within a network of private universities throughout the country.
Yes! No matter what part of the world your student-athlete is located you can take advantage of ALL of the benefits of ACES Nation. This even applies to our scholarship benefit. So for example, if you are from the UK, then you would receive the same member benefits, including the $1,000.00 private college scholarship benefit. All the same eligibility rules and regulations apply.
ACES Nation does not provide a recruiting service of any kind.. We provide the specific tools and detailed blueprint necessary for student-athletes to introduce themselves, or coaches to more effectively promote their players, directly to college coaches. Our platform helps to maximize efficiencies and facilitate the process for all parties involved - the players, parents, current coaches, and college coaches.
We offer the following packages:
Our program can start at any age. the only restriction applies to the Tuition Rewards benefit, where a student-athletes "scholarship account" MUST be established prior to entering their junior year in high school. All other benefits will still apply for juniors and seniors. Recommended packages based o age are as follows:
Participating athletes receive an access code to take the assessment. The process is done online and takes between 30-40 minutes to complete.
The athlete or parent will be emailed a copy of their results immediately upon completion. It will be sent directly to the email used to register for the assessment.
We strongly suggest that the athlete shares their results with their coache(s), and possibly their teachers, as this will help them know how to best understand, communicate with and motivate the student- athlete. Our learning assesment is perfect for the elementary school player to discover under which style they are best able to process information and learn, whether it is visual, auditory, or kinesthetic style.
Tuition Rewards Points are like frequent flyer miles – but for college tuition!
The Tuition Rewards Points represent the minimum scholarship that an eligible student will receive if, and when, he or she attends a member school. Schools may count Tuition Rewards as part of their normal institutional and merit scholarships. For example, if a student has 10,000 Tuition Rewards Points, he or she is guaranteed to receive a minimum scholarship of $10,000 (spread equally over four years) at a member school.
You can only earn Tuition Rewards points by being a member or a participant of a "member organization" (i.e. Nations) that is partnered with ACES to provide Tuition Rewards as a member/participant benefit. Each member organization has the opportunity to host "ACES sanctioned" events (i.e. leagues, camps, showcases, tournaments, etc.) which will enable its participants with the opportunity to accumulate additional points throughout each calendar year. Other ways to earn Tuition Rewards may include saving or investing with ACES' college financial planning partner, GameChangers Planning Network, or by being an employee of a company that is partnered with ACES to provide Tuition Rewards as an employee benefit.
ACES Nation helps increase the chances of playing in college in many ways:
Education - We make sure yu are armed with the knowledge you need to be as prepared as possible for the rigors of college admissions and the complexities of the recruiting process.
Nutrition - Sports nutrition alone can enhance your performance by up to 15%! This is and of itself may be the difference between your student-athlete getting recruited over another player.
Performance - The Sports Mindset Assessment will provide a true, deep profile of your student-athlete helping to maximize their potential. Coaches will learn the best way to motivate and communicate with the athlete, college coaches will gain a true understanding of the person, not just the athlete they are recruiting and the student-athlete will benefit from a deeper understanding of their strengths and weaknesses and what really makes them tick.
College Recruiting - With our tools and resources, the student-athlete can research colleges and their athletic programs to find the best fit before concerning themselves with finding a roster spot. They will have the ability to contact and communicate with coaches, while providing them with their complete online high school portfolio. This information will enable coaches access to everything they will want and need to know about a potential recruit academically and athletically.
College Admissions - Our palybook will walk the student through the stressful and difficult maze of choosing a school, college campus visits, college application process, campus interviews, wriiting college essays and more.
Scholarships - Our Tuition Rewards component can help to generate thousands of dollars in merit based scholarships at 340 private clleges and universities in the US. These scholarships have nothing to do with your athletic or academic performance, or your family's financial situation. They are a member benefit provided to you for your participation.
With this program, you will enhance your "affordability factor" so you can embark on the recruiting process knowing you already have a minimum scholarship.
Quick Fact - 183,000 of the nearly 450,000 NCAA athletes play DIII. Over 80% of all DIII's are private and none of them offer athletic scholarships.
Before you automatically decide against a private university because of "sticker shock", there are many things that you must consider and compare. Most importantly, you must go all the way through the process to determine the "real cost" versus the" sticker price"in order to make a valid comparison and intelligent decision. Here are a few things to consider:
Cost Comparison Example: Public vs. Private College |
||
---|---|---|
Public | Private | |
Tuition (“list price”) | *$8,893 | $30,094 |
Room & Board | $9,498 | $10,824 |
Books, Misc. | $2,000 | $2,000 |
Annual Cost | $20,391 | $42,918 |
*before scholarships or discounts | ||
Times 5 years | $101,955 | |
Times 4 years | $171,672 | |
Plus ‘Opportunity Cost’* | $45,327 | $0 |
Total Actual Cost | $147,282 | $171,672 |
* Opportunity Cost: Not in job market because still in school. Loss of salary (average, after taxes as of 2013) | ||
Less: Tuition Rewards | ||
Scholarship Example * | $0 | -$20,000 |
*only at participating private colleges | ||
Actual Cost after | ||
Tuition Rewards | $147,282 | $151,672 |
Assumption: ‘Worst Case Scenario’: Affluent family not qualifying for financial aid; student receives no other performance (i.e. athletic) or merit aid. |
