The National Letter of Intent program was created in 1964. Administered by the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA), the program is designed specifically for prospective student-athletes. A signed letter of intent indicates that a prospective student-athlete agrees to attend the applicable college or university for one academic year. Institutions agree to provide the student-athlete with financial aid for athletics for one academic year, provided the student-athlete is admitted to the institution and is eligible for financial aid under NCAA rules.
