There are no costs to get evaluated by our scouts. However, should you want help to take advantage of the USA University Sports Scholarship opportunities, we do charge. Sign up or give us a call to find out more.
Sports scholarships are awarded for a student’s athletic ability and the universities need. These can be both full-ride or partial scholarships, which are awarded at Division 1 and 2 level. Most sports scholarships will be between 70% and 100% of the total university cost; however, this depends on the student’s ability.
A full scholarship will cover housing, food, tuition and books.
NOTE: this is different from a full scholarship. A full-tuition scholarship will cover your tuition fees. You will still need to pay for housing, food, and books.
This depends on your natural sporting ability and the level of your target university. If you have been accepted into Aspire Atlantic Scholarship Programme, you will receive multiple scholarships from different Universities. You may receive a 100% Scholarship from a Division 1 college or a 50% scholarship from a division 2 college. It’s all about your ability and how well you have prepared for the process.
Financial aid is awarded on the basis of academic ability. Each university will provide its own academic scholarships. Amounts would only be finalized after one has applied and been accepted.
This is not a scholarship, however, financial aid is awarded to students who meet the college acceptance requirements but cannot afford the financial burden of attending the college. Not all universities provided this and is typically awarded by Ivy League colleges.
These are awarded on the basis of diversity and achieving a balanced student body, usually awarded to people of colour and international students.
