Hi,
I, Mickey Nunez Grand Canyon University Wrestling Head Coach, wanted to reach out to you with Two Awesome Exciting Opportunities available for wrestlers that want to pursue their college degree and wrestle at the collegiate level. Here at Grand Canyon University, we had a great 2019-2020 Wrestling Season which included Division 1 Tournaments, duals, and individual victories, you can check out our schedule at: https://clubsports.gcu.edu/club-sports/wrestling/#schedule

Option 1:
One of the greatest benefits of wrestling for Grand Canyon University other than the great staff and beautiful campus, is that it is by far more affordable than the other local universities. Once again GCU has not raised their tuition as the other Universities have. As a matter of fact with the other universities if a student receives a $10,000 scholarship it will still be more expensive than attending GCU without a scholarship, making GCU the more affordable choice. If your student-athlete is interested in attending Grand Canyon University, here are a few helpful links for coaches, parents, and student-athletes to help with the process.

Option 2:
If you have student-athletes that can not go directly to the University right out of high school because of Grades, GPA, ACT Test, SAT Test, or Affordability, the next best option is the only junior college wrestling program in the valley. As an adjunct faculty, I oversee and supervise the Community Christian College Wrestling Program with the help of Coach Esquivel. As you may know, I had kept junior college wrestling alive for over ten years with successes such as a College Conference Championship, a National Dual Championship, All-Americans, and Academic All-Americans. Community Christian College is an Online Institution with on the ground tutoring assistance while earning an Associate of Arts Degree. All the credits transfer to universities across the nation including Grand Canyon University and California Baptist University. Also, individuals have transferred to ASU. The plan is that after two years, to transfer to a University to wrestle including the option of Grand Canyon University. This will act as a direct feeder program from CCCollege to GCU coming in with a solid foundation as a Redshirt Sophomore. Right now we have CCCollege Wrestling Scholarships with a Coach’s Referral. The Wrestling Scholarship is at $2,162. This scholarship is for athletes that have started their attendance with cCc before the Fall 2020 quarter and/or are actively enrolled full-time for the Fall 2020 quarter. This is awarded at a rate of $310 per quarter. We are looking to build the team with a men’s team, a women’s team, wrestling managers, videography, and social media. Every category qualifies for the wrestling scholarship. Here are a few helpful links for coaches, parents, and student-athletes to help with the process.
