A national letter of intent (NLI) is a form that can be completed by student-athletes and indicates a commitment to play sports at NCAA colleges and universities. This is not a required document in terms of eligibility; however, submitting an NLI will ensure certainty in the recruiting process.
A national letter of intent is used only for prospective student-athletes enrolling in a four-year institution for the first. The student-athlete must include the institution they plan on attending and the sport they intend to play.
By signing this document, the individual agrees to attend the college/university for one (1) year in exchange for guaranteed athletics financial aid (on the condition that they are eligible for such). Furthermore, the student-athlete can no longer be recruited by any other institution once an NLI has been signed and accepted.
