About the National Letter of Intent Program
The National Letter of Intent (NLI) is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and a participating NCAA institution. When signed, the student agrees to attend the institution for at least one academic year, and the school agrees to provide athletic financial aid for that year.

The NLI program is managed by the NCAA Eligibility Center and overseen by the Collegiate Commissioners Association. Established in 1964, the program now includes over 670 NCAA Division I and II institutions, offering student-athletes a formal and celebrated path to continue their athletic careers.

Eastside Catholic is proud to support student-athletes in pursuing their goals with excellence and integrity—on the field, in the classroom and beyond.
