Shelia Young I know what a game changer GradeCheck was for my Renaissance program. The total attention to detail by your team, when examining the athletes transcripts, helped tremendously. Your process ensured our kids knew where they stood GPA and ACT test scores wise and what classes must be completed in order to qualify for the NCAA Clearinghouse. I highly recommend GradeCheck for any/all athletic programs that have college bound student athletes. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to our kids!!!

GradeCheck made me open up and not feel afraid to ask for help. Working directly with GradeCheck made me want to learn even more and about things I thought I wouldn't be interested in. With the help of GradeCheck I was prepared to receive my football scholarship from Northwood University.

Graduate from Crocket Technical High School
Detroit, MI

Jimmy would not have been qualified to receive his baseball scholarship from Michigan State University, had it not been for GradeCheck. GradeCheck was able to identify a yearbook course that Jimmy had taken (while attending Chippewa Valley High School) to meet his high school graduation requirements, however, that course did not meet the NCAA Clearinghouse requirements and as a result Jimmy ended up having to take two English courses his senior year and received passing grades. We appreciate the knowledge and personal assistance we received from GradeCheck and their ability to help our son get through the college initial eligibility process. Jimmy is now a senior at Michigan State University!

I have been blessed by GradeCheck who have worked with both of my kids. Since receiving help, my children have improved in reading and have shown much improvement by making the Dean's List. They are currently still moving forward using the basic skills instilled by GradeCheck.

We retained GradeCheck based on its philosophy that all children can obtain academic success, if provided the right tools, assistance and encouragement. GradeCheck views parental education and involvement in a student’s academic experience as essential to the success of each student.

Highland Park Community High School – Highland Park, MI

We thank God for GradeCheck and their services. We want to thank God for the time that GradeCheck has put into our son, they took time to get personal with us which meant more than we could imagine. It helped our son get focused and see that what we were saying to him, as his parents, was solid because GradeCheck was instilling the same values and principles. With the partnership formed between GradeCheck and our family, our son was blessed and prepared to receive a football scholarship from Northwood University. We are a witness to how GradeCheck empowers our youth to academic achievement. We are still seeing positive growth in our son, as a result of the type of relationship built between him and GradeCheck. Again, we thank God 100% and we are looking forward to having GradeCheck work with our daughter, who plays basketball. The information and support GradeCheck gave us is more valuable than what we could every pay!

Having the opportunity to work directly with GradeCheck, I have first hand knowledge of the efficiency and effectiveness they offer. GradeCheck is not only a vital resource for my program but will be extremely helpful in assisting all parents with students who aspire to attend college.

Any high school student pursuing an athletic college scholarship can benefit from enrolling in GradeCheck. Their meticulous system helps ensure that students' grades, course selection and standardized test results comply with the NCAA eligibility rules. GradeCheck is a passionate, dependable advocate for students and their families. As a college coach I can count on the staff at GradeCheck to monitor a student's progress and eligibility status. There would be far fewer cases of student athletes not meeting NCAA eligibility requirements if GradeCheck were in place throughout the Country.

GradeCheck is a service that is much needed for student athletes who have a strong desire to attend and play a sport at the collegiate level. I highly recommend GradeCheck!

Gradecheck is truly a game changer. I remember Kevin Ross in the early years when he was a student athlete at Creighton University. Once we realized he had not been equipped to venture out as a productive member of society, Sheila locked in like a lazer. Her whole mission in life was to ensure Kevin Jr., nor any other child would hit the pitfalls of not being prepared academically to pursue their college education. To show you how well Gradecheck works, her other two children applied the technology and have or are in the process of pursuing graduate degrees. Full circle moment of our friendship is my son SirWayne Wardlow just graduated from Creighton University School of Law and was the Commencement Speaker as well.

One of the most important parts of the recruiting process is making young people aware of the academic requirements to get into the college of their choice. GradeCheck will be a great resource in this area for young people and their families as they go through this process.

H. Tommy Amaker
Head Basketball Coach
Harvard University - Cambridge, MA

GradeCheck has a tremendous working knowledge of the NCAA Clearinghouse and has established a precise plan to help high school student-athletes gain their initial eligibility. She will guide any student-athlete, beginning in their freshman year, and help them to successfully navigate their class schedule to ensure they are qualified to immediately participate in collegiate athletics.

If you son or daughter has shown the potential to possibly earn an athletic scholarship to college, GradeCheck would be a great resource in the classroom to help them achieve their goals.

Jim Calhoun

Being a former athlete myself and having attended and graduated from Syracuse University, I understand the importance of being academically prepared. The support and guidance GradeCheck provides is extremely valuable, and I highly recommend their services to any student athlete that hopes to play in the NCAA.

The lifeblood of college coaching is the recruiting process. The first step is always a thorough academic background check. GradeCheck will make this process much smoother and their attention to detail is unparalleled

Geno Ford
Assistant Men's Basketball Coach

GradeCheck will provide a valuable direction for parents and prosepctive student athletes. With the NCAA eligibility requirements continuing to grow, having guidance in what's required can be invaluable.

Roger Lyons
Head Men's Basketball Coach
Ashland University - Ashland, OH

The recruiting process can, at times, be confusing and full of anxiety for families and prospective student-athletes. GradeCheck can help eliminate some of the concerns families may have regarding academic information and specific needs. It is my opinion that we can't do enough to put good and accurate academic information in the people's hands that need it most... the student-athlete and his family.

Steve Hawkins
Head Basketball Coach
Western Michigan University - Kalamazoo, MI

As a college coach I can tell you that having the proper academic information on your student-athlete is essential to the recruiting process. With GradeCheck your athlete will be ahead of others when the college coaches come calling. I have a son who will be a senior this year and he is being recruited by many schools in the sports of baseball and football. I'm relying on GradeCheck to help me through the process.

Greg Kampe
Head Coach - Men's Basketball Team

Every year I have the opportunity to coach hundreds of basketball players in the State of Michigan, who have hopes of playing at the University level. GradeCheck is a very good resource for parents and their student athlete to utilize when pursuing proper guidance for getting through the intercollegiate initial eligibility phase. I highly recommend parents and students alike to utilize this service.
