The K.A.N.E.C.T. Project (Keeping Athletes Networking and Excelling with College Teachers) was birthed out of the realization that the playing field is not level for student athletes that may have a college dream but limited resources. A lack of connection between high school students and the expectation of college excellence is growing and ultimately setting up our student athletes to either fail or struggle academically because they are not ready for the challenge of the college experience.With a series of upward and downward mentorships, tutoring programs, early college experience opportunities, and scholarship guidance, The K.A.N.E.C.T. Project plans to dramatically reduce if not eliminate this lack of connection for its approved candidates that may represent a diverse demographic and/or ethnic background.
