FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Don't know where to start? You might find the answer here.
Who can get an athletic scholarship?
An athletic scholarship is available to any student who has good sports results, at least average academic performance, and a willingness to study in English. It doesn’t matter where you’re from – what matters is your performance, motivation, and the right timing.
Do I need to be on the national team to get a full scholarship?
No. There are many universities, athletic organizations, and divisions that offer full or partial scholarships not only to top-level athletes. What truly matters is your attitude, performance, academic results, and overall potential—not just your official status.
What if you don't find any offer for me?
During the initial consultations—and after analyzing your athletic and academic level—we’ll give you an honest assessment of your chances: whether you’re more likely to receive a full, partial, or academic scholarship. If we determine that an offer is unlikely, you’ll know right from the start. Our goal is to be fair and find a solution that truly makes sense.
What sports are usually supported?
The most commonly supported sports include tennis, volleyball, track and field, swimming, soccer, basketball, and golf. However, scholarships also exist for less traditional sports—if you have strong results and motivation, there’s definitely a chance.
How much will it cost me?
University studies in the U.S. typically cost between $20,000 and $80,000 per year. But with an athletic scholarship, you can cover part—or even all—of the costs. Some students pay thousands of dollars a year, while others pay nothing at all.
What if I cannot speak fluent English?
You don’t have to be perfect, but a basic level of English is important. We’ll help you choose the right language test (e.g., Duolingo English Test, TOEFL) and prepare for it. We also offer conversation practice with a professional.
How long does the entire process take?
We recommend starting at least 12 months before your intended start date, but the earlier you begin, the more opportunities you’ll have. The process includes creating a profile, reaching out to coaches, taking tests, and preparing your application.
How can I start?
Just reach out to us and schedule an initial consultation. It’s free and non-binding—and it could be the first step on your journey to a university in the USA.
What will you do for me?
We’ll guide you through the entire process—from creating your profile and video, to communicating with coaches, handling visas, admission, and departure. You focus on training and school—we’ll take care of the rest.
How does the contact with coaches look like?
Communication usually happens via email or Zoom. We’ll help you prepare your presentation, reach out to schools, and communicate professionally. If a coach is interested, they may invite you for a follow-up conversation or an official visit.
