Southwest Academy is a non-profit
organization that provides a second
opportunity for young men and women that are
high school graduates who aspire to compete
athletically at the collegiate level while
continuing their education. A primary goal
of the Academy is to equip each participant
with the tools necessary for achievement,
via tutoring and educational support
services throughout the academic year.
The
National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) has granted all program participants
an option to enroll into a maximum of 6
credit hours per semester at the Community
College level. These credit hours are
transferable and will accompany each
participant to their respective collegiate
choice the following season. Financial Aid
and Grants are available to all families
that meet the necessary requirements.
Southwest Academy welcomes the high school
graduate that has struggled academically and
hasn’t met the N.C.A.A. clearinghouse
requirements necessary to accept an athletic
scholarship prior to graduation.

who were not highly recruited nor given an
opportunity to showcase their ability at the
high school level.

academic and athletic scholarships to a
variety of
universities and colleges throughout
the United States and Canada. Seventy-five
percent of all previous program participants
have been awarded scholarship opportunities
to continue their academic and athletic
careers at an assortment of four year
institutions.
Southwest Academy has proven to be a viable
option for student-athletes that were not
granted the level playing field most yearn
for in order to perform and exhibit their
individual skill set as their peers. Program
participants are able to enhance their
academic standing while their athletic
development continues during their overall
maturation as an individual.
