The concept behind US Field Hockey Scholarships is quite simple; it provides talented amateur sportsmen and women with an exclusive opportunity to pursue both an academic and Field Hockey career simultaneously.A Field Hockey Scholarship to an American university can cover some, and at times all, of the costs associated with earning a university degree. In return, the student-athlete will represent the university in Field Hockey and maintain a good level of academic performance.

A Field Hockey scholarship to the USA is a unique opportunity to pursue an academic and playing career within some of the best academic and sporting environments in the World. Field Hockey is one of only two sports in the NCAA which are exclusive to women, the other is softball and there are also a number of 'emerging sports' being considered. The NCAA added 12 women's sports in the 1981-82 college year. The first national championship events were held in November 21-22, 1981, in cross-country and field hockey. NCAA field hockey championships have been held in all three NCAA divisions since that time. Universities and colleges in the USA invest a huge amount into their sports facilities and coaching - making it a very attractive opportunity for those who have the ability to compete at a high level. Many of the World's leading amateur talent see the American collegiate system as the best way to develop their game whilst simultaneously earning a university degree. FirstPoint USA has secured thousands of scholarships to many of America's leading academic and athletic institutions; brokering tens of millions of dollars on their behalf in the process.
