Presidential Athletics Pathway Program Information Session

Dear HS Athletic Directors,

As educational and athletic leaders, we share a common, critical mission: ensuring our student-athletes are equipped with every tool necessary to succeed in competition, in the classroom, and in their future careers. We know that navigating the collegiate athletic recruiting process can be an overwhelming landscape for students and their families. Providing structured, reliable exposure is a constant challenge for even the most dedicated high school athletic departments.

Introducing the Presidential Athletics Pathway Program

We are excited to invite your high school to be a partner with Lawrence Technological University in our Presidential Athletics Pathway Program.

This exclusive, four-year partnership is designed to completely bridge the gap between high school sports and collegiate athletics. By becoming an official Presidential Athletics Pathway Partner, you will provide your student-athletes – from freshmen to seniors – with direct, unprecedented access to LTU’s President, Presidential Cabinet, Academic Deans, alumni, coaching staff, state-of-the-art facilities, and more.

Through the Presidential Athletics Pathway Partnership, your student-athletes and your athletic department will receive:

• Elite Exposure & Development: Free annual access to select LTU camps and clinics, alongside our "Coaches Speaker Series." We also provide critical education sessions covering recruiting timelines, NCAA & NAIA eligibility, and modern NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) basics.
• Immersive Campus Experiences: Exclusive athletic facility tours, access to select LTU games, and dedicated "Pathway Program Nights" where your high school's athletes and community are recognized on our campus.

• Maximum Recruiting Visibility: Direct inclusion in the LTU coaching staff recruiting database, invitations to LTU evaluation combines, and athlete spotlights across our media channels.
• The Academic Advantage: Integrated programming that highlights the powerful combination of STEM education and collegiate athletics – a distinctive LTU advantage that prepares your college-bound students for long-term career success.
• Pre-College Planning: Focused workshops on how to maximize applying for the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA), identifying opportunities for scholarships, finalizing college applications with qualified staff and faculty and ensuring each student understands the use of social media during both admissions and athletic recruitment.

Partnership Structure and Investment

We view this as a true, long-term collaboration. The program is structured over a four-year cycle to ensure we are developing and supporting your athletes throughout their entire high school journey.

• Annual Investment: $2,500 per year, with a total four-year commitment of $10,000
• Convenient Payment Schedule: 50% paid in Year 1, remaining 50% deferred until the beginning of Year 3

By joining the Presidential Athletics Pathway Program, your high school will be recognized as an official LTU Presidential Athletics Pathway Partner School. This not only elevates your athletes' recruiting visibility but provides your school with a highly marketable, direct collegiate pipeline to offer incoming families.

I would like to invite you to a virtual discussion with me to discuss the partnership with my leadership team. The event will be on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. My team will follow up with everyone that RSVP’s for our virtual discussion one week in advance of the event. Thank you for your tireless dedication to student-athlete success. We look forward to building a winning pipeline together.

Sincerely,

Tarek Sobh, Ph.D.
President and CEO
