About Us

At FirstPoint we differentiate ourselves from other scholarship agencies by specializing in bespoke Marketing, Guidance, and Scholarship Campaigns throughout the entire recruitment process. Not only do we specialize in this ever-evolving and increasingly competitive arena; we offer a unique and comprehensive service with unparalleled success for placing sportsmen and women on American scholarships.
Based in Glasgow (Scotland) and established in 2001 by All-American award winner Andrew Kean, the company was started with the assistance of the Prince’s Scottish Youth Business Trust who provided a £1000 grant to the then 23 year old. Since then we have been delivering successful and award winning services to our clients with unparalleled success.
Our team of 20+ full-time staff creates bespoke scholarship campaigns for each of our clients using our thorough knowledge and experience of the scholarship process.
We are renowned for our meticulous approach and attention to detail which is reflected in the list of colleges utilizing our services. The list includes prestigious names such as Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Ohio State University, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Louisville, Boston University, Virginia Tech University, the College of William & Mary, the University of Notre Dame, Hartwick College, the University of Nevada Las Vegas, DePaul University, the University of Rhode Island, Xavier University, the University of Wisconsin, and San Jose State University; to name but a few.
