College Connects "CCnx"

Our mission is to provide high school student-athletes who aspire to play collegiate sports with more options regarding college placement, which may include opportunities for scholarships. The College Connects “CCnx” App bridges high school student athletes with colleges and their sports programs. Our database of profiles provides simultaneous online visibility and exposure for student-athletes, colleges, and collegiate sports teams on one platform.

Choosing a college can be a very difficult and stressful task. It is also one of the biggest decisions a teenager will make. College Connects empowers student-athletes and their parent(s)/guardian(s) by offering two very inexpensive subscriptions, which provide vital information needed to make an informed decision. Our 1st tier subscription “College Bound” is open to all student athletes and our 2nd tier subscription “Scholly Bound” is currently only open to student-athletes aspiring to play Collegiate Men’s Basketball. The College Connects Mobile App is available to high school student athletes in the United States and Canada.

The College Bound subscription gives student-athletes access to our database of over 500 college profiles, allowing student users to search for colleges based on selected criteria (Ex. Sports offered, State, Division). Our results page provides direct links to each college’s homepage, athletics site, and majors/academic programs page. College Bound focuses on college placement, providing more college options, direct links, and an introduction to profiles of colleges, student users may have never heard of. College Connects collects “personal data” from the account holder/parent/guardian (name, email, phone#) and the student user (name, email, DOB) which is ONLY used for the College Bound account authentication.

The Scholly Bound subscription provides access to everything included in the College Bound subscription and more. Scholly Bound focuses on connecting college coaches and student-athletes, utilizing profiles. Each student user can create a profile for one sport (Currently Men’s Basketball), that college coaches can view. In addition, student users can query/search our college sports programs profile database. Student-athletes can monitor specific college sports programs, and college coaches can search for, track, and potentially contact specific student-athletes. The “Colleges of Interest” field in the Student User profile is used to inform college coaches of prospective student-athletes.

Student User profiles, which are associated with the Scholly Bound subscription, are created by filling out the optional online questionnaire. The purpose of the Student User profile is to provide information for registered college coaches to view. This data includes parent/guardian personal information and student user personal, athletic, and scholastic information. Student users can see their profile as shown in the database and modify their profile at any time. College Connects “CCnx” provides high school student-athletes with more options regarding college placement. College Connects “CCnx” does NOT guarantee college placement, nor do we share user information with third parties (as noted in our privacy policy).
