Sport Scholarships in America
An athletic scholarship provides financial support for young, talented athletes. This gives them the opportunity to receive a first-class education while further developing their athletic skills.
What are the benefits?
Studying abroad can be frightening and very expensive. With the help of an athletic scholarship, talented athletes can fulfil their dreams of getting a great education, while competing on a very high athletic level. An athletic scholarship can cover up to a 100% of the university tuition.

There are only around 2% of students at American universities that are getting financial support through an athletic scholarship. The application process is therefore very strict and can be confusing. It takes a lot of time and knowledge to keep an overview of the different tasks, while trying to get the highest possible scholarship you deserve.
