His dedication to academics and soccer is summed up in his personal statement:
“I am a 2010 graduate from North Branch, Minnesota and moved to the United States from Switzerland in 2004 (I am holding a dual citizenship). I have been competing in high level soccer since the age of 4 and have scored more than 100 goals and assists during my first six years of soccer. I joined the North Branch High School Varsity soccer team as a 7th grader and have lettered since then. Soccer is my true love and I consider myself to be a very committed team player, who puts the team's need ahead of my own. Academically, I carry a 3.478 GPA and join the honor roll regularly. My goal is to attend a college or university where I can be successful in both academics and athletics. I am looking for arts major.”
NCSA wishes Brian Grand the best of luck this year and look forward to helping him choose the right athletic and academic fit.
