Sports and Academic scholarships in USA
Tips
- We recommend to start the process of school search at least a year prior to actual departure. Good preparation takes time, while available spots at academic institutions and financial aid are limited. The earlier you reach out to us, the better offer we can deliver.
- Video footage is important. It indicates both your current level and your potential to American coaches. Make a highlight film, upload it to YouTube or Vimeo and send the link to us. Soundtrack of your video is not important, but angle of take and quality can make a difference.
- Any video beats a profile with no video. If you don’t have an opportunity to film the game, record your practice or individual workout.
- Do not forget to be polite during the official interview with a school official. Words like “Sir” or “Madam” show good upbringing and education. Prepare to speak about yourself, school, sports, family and your goals in life. Academic institution wants to make sure your English is good enough to participate in classes.
- Let us carry on the process on your behalf. Personal approach of school officials might bring confusion, this is what you need professionals for. Rest assured, we will put you in direct communication as soon as the school expresses their desire to speak privately.
- You must possess a passport valid for travel to the United States with a validity date at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the United States.
- You are encouraged to apply for student visa as soon as you receive Form I-20. To ensure you get an early and timely date you may apply anytime. Student (F-1) visas for new students can be issued up to 120 days in advance of the start date for a course of study.
- For your initial entry, you may only enter the United States within 30 days of the beginning of the course of study stated on your I-20, regardless of when your visa was issued.
- Take your time to purchase air plane tickets. Wait for visa approval at consular section.
