USA Football Scholarships
Football Scholarships
Football Scholarships in the USA:
The concept behind US football scholarships is quite simple; it provides talented amateur sportsmen and women with an exclusive opportunity to pursue both an academic and football career simultaneously. A football scholarship to an American university can cover many, sometimes all, of the costs associated with earning a university degree. In return, the student-athlete will represent the university in football and maintain a good level of academic performance. There are currently over 500,000 student-athletes competing for approximately 2000 collegiate sports programs. The overwhelming majority of student-athletes will never earn a penny as a professional football player. That's why the terms "student" and "athlete" are synonymous with American intercollegiate sport: When the athlete can no longer play, the student can still become professional in something other than sport.

FirstPoint USA’s Football Scholarship Service:
Each applicant is personally interviewed and educated on the stark realities of being a collegiate athlete in the United States. This is coupled with an assessment of their respective sporting ability and academic credentials, to again ensure that they have the correct criteria to gain a coveted sport scholarship.
By offering our clients a long-term commitment to their placement on scholarship, the onus is on us to deliver the required scholarship offers. As the available places on our program is directly proportional to the successfully placed athletes we have, our clients can be rest assured that we will be striving to grow the number of scholarship offers and finalise as many scholarship deals as possible. FirstPoint rely on placing signed clients on scholarship so to allow new applicants to be offered one of the available slots.
On average, each of our clients will enjoy the benefits of our services for 12 months before being placed on scholarship. Within this time, they will be assigned a personal Sports Consultant to guide them through the initial stages of the scholarship process. When ready, the client will be passed to our heralded Clearing Department where the final stages of the process will be engaged, such as; compliance, eligibility, the SAT exam, short-listing, the marketing campaign, and the student visa process – just to name a few of the required stages.
FirstPoint USA clients have the right to reject any scholarship offers and still maintain their place on the FirstPoint USA program.
As scholarships can only be offered by the coach or university interested in an athlete; there is no individual, company or organisation that can guarantee the overall value of a scholarship offered - or whether in-fact any scholarship can be offered at all. As a result, our guarantee is that our clients are managed effectively and placed in the best possible position for obtaining a sports scholarship to a US college or university specific to their academic, financial, athletic and social needs. This is a policy which provides us with an unparalleled success rate to date.
