Swimming Scholarship in the USA
If you’re in the process of looking up swimming scholarships that probably means that you roughly know what you will get yourself into. It is not a secret that swimming is an extremely competitive sport. Your training will consist of early morning sessions in the water and land sessions (mostly strength and conditioning) in the afternoon. Going to lectures and having assigned homework throughout the week mean that your days will be fully booked. Needless to say, your commitment and love for the sport needs to be strong if you want a swimming scholarship.
At present, the UK only has 22 Olympic sized swimming pools for aspiring young Olympians to train. In comparison, in the US there are currently over 500 swimming programs on offer. All of them boast an Olympic sized pool and first class diving facilities for their student-athletes. In addition, there you will benefit from continuous support from coaches and sports-specific dieticians and physios. As a result, the University of Michigan, for instance, produced the highly decorated Olympian Michael Phelps.

Rugby Scholarship in the USA
Why in the world would you play and want a rugby scholarship in the US, you say? Isn’t ‘American Football’ their version of Rugby? Well, rugby is one of the fastest growing club sports across college sports campuses, with an increase in 14% in just two years.
Playing rugby in the American college system will make combining the passion you have for your sport as well as working towards a bachelor’s degree in your chosen field of study extremely convenient (for the lack of a better term). You never need to worry about whether you’ll have time to train or time to study. Your schedule is specifically set in a way that you can manage to excel in both. Does the idea of joining on of the 900 college rugby teams (both male and female) appeal to you? Then don’t hesitate to contact one of our sports consultants, all of whom are ex-student athletes themselves.
Tennis Scholarship in the USA
Have you ever heard of Andy Roddick, Arthur Ashe or Althea Gibson? Do you know what they all have in common? They were all student-athletes at American colleges in the early stages of their careers. This enabled them to keep playing Tennis at a highly competitive level all the while earning a widely-recognized degree. A tennis scholarship that perfectly suits your needs will bring you one step closer to your dream.
The thing about colleges in the US is that training sessions fit around the student-athlete’s schedule. This creates the perfect environment for students to excel in their sport with world-class facilities and equipment. In addition, it encourages and pushes them to excel academically. Their programs are designed so that students can succeed in both, providing they have the right mentality and drive to do so. Does this sound like something you would like to be a part of? Then feel free to contact us and talk to one of our (ex-student-athlete) sports consultants to help you start the process.
