Recruiting Tips & Blog

Over the past several years, we’ve received an increasing amount of questions from parents about the college process. How do I help my son or daughter to get seen by colleges? When should I start visiting schools and will colleges pay for his/her visit? How many scholarships are available at the NCAA Division 1 and 2 levels and are they hard to get? Does SAT test prep really help raise scores? Parents in the process have all these questions and some many more. In response to these questions, last year we started the Future 500 Parent Education Seminar. The feedback was so overwhelmingly positive – that this year we are expanding it even further!

People ask why we offer standardized test preparation services and the option to take a full practice SAT, PSAT or ACT at a college ID camp. It is a great question. It allows us to speak to what we are really trying to do at Future 500. Students frequently report improvements of of 100-200 points or more after participating in a test prep course. Taking proctored practice tests also leads to better scores. Many prospects see their college options and aid packages limited by test scores that understate their true academic potential. By partnering with Kaplan Test Prep, the industry leader in test preparation, Future 500 gives campers a significant advantage that will benefit them greatly when taking the take official exam .

Future 500 ID Camps is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Tony Carnahan, President of Coastal College Counseling.
