Soccer scholarships
Soccer scholarships worth 130 million dollars are awarded annually. The college teams receive excellent supervision from highly professional coaches as well as excellent medical care. The team doctor is a member of the team as a matter of course, in addition to one or more Physiotherapists who work with modern methods and technology. A sports scholarship contains all this and more. You will continually be receiving new input which adds to the effectiveness of the team.

Timing
The best time to go to the USA on a sports scholarship is straight after you finish school. College coaches prefer to give scholarships to younger students, as it enables them to continually train and improve a player’s performance over a period of four years. It is also possible to go to the US for just one year. Due to the contact we have to a large number of college coaches we have been able to help a large number of athletes after they have completed their Bachelor to do their Master in the USA. The best timing is if you contact us about one year before you plan to start studying in the USA. Soccer players can start their studies either at the Spring Semester or the Fall Semester.
Requirements for a soccer scholarship
It is difficult to say exactly who has the chance of being awarded a scholarship and who doesn’t. Due to the good contact we have to the coaches, we can often arrange a scholarship for players who play in the 6th League. The best thing is if you fill out our Opportunity Assessment Form and we can inform you quickly of what your chances are like.
The best time to start is close to you finishing school, ideally the Spring Semester, this will enable you to have a smooth transition and you will be able to take part in the preparation phase before the start of the American season. However there are scholarships available for those who would like to start at the beginning of the season. The National Championships are in November/December every year which makes it possible to play part of the German season.
