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.
