FirstPoint USA Service - The Program

The Program

photo of sportsBefore a place is offered or anyone is signed, we ascertain our clients’ academic and sporting goals, as well as determining their suitability for the sport scholarship experience. Using these goals and suitability checks, we are able to determine whether he or she should be offered one of the limited places available with FirstPoint.

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.

Uniquely, FirstPoint clients have the right to reject any scholarship offers and still maintain their place on the FirstPoint program. Our services to our clients only cease once the client has formally committed their future to a college and satisfactorily agreed to accept a scholarship offer.
