Scholarships in Colleges in America
Study in the U.S.A. and play a sport at the same time
. Be informed by Sports Exelixis for what you need in order to take the chance for a full athletic scholarship in an American College.
In American universities there are 29 sports for which you can get a scholarship:
Soccer, basketball, volleyball, polo, athletics, tennis, skiing, ice hockey, grass hockey, swimming, synchronized swimming, rowing, baseball, fencing, rugby, Golf, gymnastics, shooting, diving, wrestling, archery, bowling and horse riding.
The ideal age to get a scholarship is immediately after the completion of the high school, up to 2-3 years later.
This is the time with the highest probability of receiving a scholarship, since each coach wants to get a young player who he can count for 4 years in the group (duration of studies).
The candidate for a scholarship must have completed the third class of high school and passed the English language test, the TOEFL test and the ACT test or SAT test. These are the basics you need to be admitted at a university. You must keep in mind that each university requires a specific result in the TOEFL ACT and SAT test.
Having good grades from high school is sufficient for admission to university, but having excellent grades means that there is a greater chance of obtaining in addition to sports and an academic scholarship. Often these two scholarships combined can cover most or all of the costs at an American university.
