USFA - ‘Questions Every College Bound Fencer Should Ask’
Many factors play a part in choosing which college a high school senior will apply to and choose to attend. These factors become more complex if the student is an athlete and perhaps even more complex still if that student is an athlete of a sport other than one of the popular mainstream sports. The best tool to help fencers and their parents navigate some of these complexities is knowledge:

• knowledge of what general NCAA information they need;
• knowledge of how to get that information;
• knowledge of which questions to ask of each fencing program.
