Just a short note to say THANK YOU very much for all you and CPOA have done for my son Clay and I.  He is very happy to play Division I football next year thanks to you and CPOA.  (Your Program) has saved me somewhere between $75,000 and $100,000!!  That kind of savings makes the mere cost of your program a drop in the bucket!  Without a doubt, CPOA has been the BEST investment I have ever made, and would highly endorse your program to any parent who knows their child deserves a chance at the next level.

Sincerely, Brett Howerton

Tom Elias exceeded my expectations in knowledge about college athletics and in his customer service skills.  Tom Elias helped leverage our opportunities in the recruiting process.  Tom was our family's college recruiting educator.  Tom's knowledge was an excellent compliment to our coach's leadership.  We have found that the investment in CPOA to be an excellent value.  We have a younger son starting high school.  If he has the opportunity to play college sports, we would again sign on with Tom Elias.

When we met with you at the beginning of Holly's senior year our hopes were diminishing regarding a financial aid award for her to attend college, and more importantly, her dream of playing volleyball at the collegiate level.  We withdrew the fee from our savings account and signed your contract.  WOW, what a return on investment!!!!  Holly has been awarded the Presidential Scholarship to attend Savannah College...A package totaling $67,000, her dream is now reality!!  Largely in part to you and the organization you represent, College Prospects of America.  We will never be able to express our gratitude to you.  Your program works, Holly's scholarship is living proof.  We highly recommend you and CPOA and would gladly speak with other parents.

I thank you for all your help and advise.  Without your help and College Prospects, I would have never been considered for this school. (Belmont Abbey College)  They never would have heard of me.  As it turns out, they contacted me and I was invited for an official visit.  This is a quality school in a quality baseball conference in a very good area for baseball.  The program is up and coming and I will be part of it.  I couldn't ask for more.  Again, thank you and good luck with other student athletes.

College Prospects of America is an outstanding recruiting service for high school athletes and their parents.  College recruiters trust and respect the outstanding jobs CPOA has done in evaluating and marketing high school athletes.

Bill Conley, Former Recruiting Coordinator, Ohio State University

Thank you very much for your assistance with my daughter Brooke......she has recently signed with Florida State for a full scholarship.  The uncertainty surrounding the recruiting process, our lack of experience, the presence of competing recruits and a possibility of unforseen circumstances made me feel that I needed all the help I could get.  At a minimum, the CPOA fee to lessen the chances of a possible $100,000 plus education expense was insignificant by comparison and worth the piece of mind.  Your experience and expertise....and moral support at the end was very helpful.

With Tom Elias and CPOA, parents and student athletes find they can have the upper hand in the process and have a better understanding to make the right choice for the future!

I want to thank your organization for the outstanding job you did for my daughter Erin in getting her the national exposure she deserves.  I will continue to be a big supporter of CPOA and can honestly say the program did everything as advertised and more!
