Sport Scholar Consulting is a college admissions and scholarship consulting firm specializing in student-athletes while also serving non-athlete students and families. As the youth sports industry continues to grow with a different college athletics landscape (i.e. the new Name, Image, and Likeness NIL considerations, the tranfer portal), families face an increasing complexity at the intersection of academics, athletics, compliance, and financial decision-making.

Sport Scholar Consulting addresses this need by providing personalized, ethical, and research-informed guidance that helps students identify best-fit colleges, scholarship opportunities, and better understand long-term academic and athletic pathways.

Founded by Dr. Joel Cormier, an experienced sport management and higher education professional with an extensive background in sport management (Photo: 2025 Sport Management Education Accreditation Hall of Fame), college coaching, and student development, Sport Scholar Consulting is grounded in firsthand knowledge of college admissions systems, athletic departments, and youth sport structures.

From New York City to New Mexico to the Midwest. Coaching at the NCAA Division III level in New England or working in advising in FBS college athletics to winning championships as a hockey and lacrosse coach, Dr. Cormier understands the world of college sports not just from a Ph.D. dissertation in college athletics or the over 50 presentations at national and international conferences.
