Welcome to American College Connection

I can honestly say that without the help of Rick and ACC I would not be where I am now. When I met Rick, I was a raw athlete from out-state Nebraska who had only been swimming for two years and had no clue how to go to the next level. With Rick’s help, coaches from all divisions of the NCAA were in contact with me and I eventually found my way on deck to a small, liberal arts school. There I became an All-American with invitations from an elite sprint group to train for the 2008 Trials. During my...

We are so fortunate that we found you

Finding Rick and ACC was an absolute godsend! We had initial contacts with some American Colleges but the choice out there was mind boggling for us!  Rick initially spoke to us in detail about our son, to find out what his College and Swimming needs were for the next four years. He was clearly genuinely interested in ensuring our son got the best ‘fit’ in all areas. Rick sent out our son’s credentials and we then sat back and watched the emails drop in! Within a matter of days we had Skype calls booked, telephone calls booked and email exchanges going...

Choosing a college is a momentous and stressful process for both students and parents. It's a huge commitment that tries to balance cost, academics and campus life; without discipline it can easily lead to paralysis by analysis. For the student athlete the complexity only increases with the additional degrees of freedom and wide variety of collegiate athletic programs. While choosing a college needs to be a smart business decision, and a wise investment, in reality students and parents don't go through this often enough to have the experience needed for making optimal decisions. In this respect American College Connection was truly...

"We went through the recruiting process by ourselves with our first daughter and used American College Connection with our second. We were not able to secure a scholarship with our first swimmer, but ACC helped our second swimmer get most of her education paid for. We are living proof that ACC is a great investment and I am reminded of that every time I write the tuition check for daughter #1."

The ACC System has helped many students come closer to achieving their dreams.The true measure of success for any company is the feedback received from it's clients. We are extremely proud of the results experienced by some of our past student athletes.FROM PARENTS:"When parents ask me if American College Connection was worth our investment, my answer is a resounding Yes. With the help of his coaches and ACC, our son signed early at a very prestigious university with a top 20 Division I program for a scholarship worth over $70,000. As the result of ACC's efforts, he had over $200,000...

Success Stories

"The services of ACC helped our family find the perfect fit for Jillian's athletic and academic wishes. We trusted Rick to help us find the best choices and we succeeded. Jillian was offered scholarships from over 40 universities and was recently voted Top Freshman athlete at the Division I university she eventually enrolled with. Matching the "right" swimming and academic program was not easy but ACC and Rick guided us through the whole process in a totally professional manner."

ACC is with you for EVERY STEP of the recruiting process!

We sent out Karen’s profile and video to numerous colleges and did not receive nay responses. With the help of ACC, Karen was contacted by more colleges than we knew what to do with, in all 55 schools from 28 states. It was a definite benefit having ACC put her profile and video in front of INTERESTED coaches, as none of this would have happened without their expertise.
