As we always like to say, every athlete is different and not every process is exactly the same. So it is sometimes a bit difficult to give an exact blueprint of how the scholarship process will unfold from start to finish. However, here is a rough outline of the first steps to give everyone an approximate idea on how to get things started as efficiently as possible.
First and foremost, we recommend reaching out to us as soon as you are even considering the option of coming to college in America. We will then arrange a call with you and your parents to give you our free evaluation of your chances and options. In that call we will also tell you more about the process and what we will need from you in order to maximize and optimize your scholarship options. Here is the link to our free evaluation form to get in touch with us. Once we receive it, we will immediately pass it on to the expert for your particular sport and he/she will then get back to you within a day or two.

After that, the next step will be to create exposure and to get the college coaches in America to know you. How do we do that? The answer to that is with a good online profile! We obviously help you with this step and give you clear instructions on what we need in order to get the best possible results. Two of the main and most important components of the profile will always be your video as well as the most detailed information (both academically and athletically). Once we have your profile ready, we can then immediately start calling and messaging the coaches and get you advertised to them. So at that point, we are underway and you will soon be receiving your first scholarship offers.
Lastly, while all this is going on, we always highly recommend taking your tests as soon as possible. The earlier we have the results, the sooner we will be able to secure you accurate scholarship offers, as very often athletes will be looking at both, athletic and academic scholarships. So reach out to us as soon as possible, let’s get your online profile up, and make sure you take your tests early. Those are (in most cases) the first important steps to get the process started and to bring you one step closer to obtaining that sports scholarship you are dreaming of!
