WHY SOCCER
SCHOLARSHIP?
Athletic a well as academic scholarships
are much more common in the US than in most
other countries Sport scholarships are awarded to athletes of outstanding performance in order to enable them to finance their
studies in the US. The
athlete participates fully in
practice sessions with the college team and represents
the university in
various tournaments and competitions.
For
what reasons are scholarships awarded?
For
generations, American universities have had college teams in all kinds of
sports. These teams are professionally managed by specially employed
coaches and serve as an advertisement for the respective university
in numerous competitions. If a team
has regional or even nationwide success, the media will cover its development. That iswhy college teams are a
means
to market the university in order to recruit new students. For this
reason, the universities
provide the coaches with a budget to recruit
talented athletes from around the
world and help them
finance their
studies
Being successful in the right sport
Scholarships are available for a total of 29 sports at college level. A
certain range of
sports is always offered, even though a few sports may or may
not be offered every single
year.
Academic
background
It is the coaches who grant the scholarship, and one
should think they focus on the applicant’s
athletic achievements only. However, that’s not entirely true, as the
applicant must be accepted by the college or university first
in order
to be eligible to play on its team at all. Consequently, all
international applicants have to be high school graduates. In addition, every
single international applicant has to take the TOEFL (Test of English as
a Foreign Language), even if he has spent a year at an American high
school or has
taken other similar tests. The sports
divisions also require applicants to take the SAT to be cleared in the
licensing process. Both of these are the SAT to be cleared in the licensing
process. Both of these are academic tests that aim to asses the applicants’
proficiency in English (TOEFL) and English and Maths (SAT). A good grade
point average in your high school graduation
certificate
certificate boosts one’s chances of being accepted
by a college as
well.
Apply early and with all the required
information
Usually, the
coaches postpone
their final decision on the Line Up of their
teams until relatively late so as to keep all their
options open until shortly until relatively late so as to keep all
their options open until shortly before the application deadlines. As
there is rarely enough time for a regular application to the college after
the scholarships have been awarded, we encourage you to apply through
us at least 6 months prior to your planned enrolment. The earlier you
apply, the better your chances of securing scholarships with the most
financial support.
As a general rule, coaches rarely accept personal
applications, because a) applicants cannot objectively judge their
abilities b) the applications lack
important information c) the
eligibility-requirements are not fulfilled
Agencies such as
sport-scholarships.com serve as a kind of screening-authority that checks
whether the athletic and academic requirements of the applicants are met before
the coaches take a look at them. It’s easy for coaches to get a good overall
impression of the applicant who has applied through
sport-scholarships.com, as our applications present all relevant information
at first glance, including pictures and videos o f the athlete. Coaches
also rely on us when it comes to application procedures, as we have
extensive background knowledge in that area through our connection with
college-contact.com.
