FirstPointUSA Service
Since 2001, we have assisted over 3000 athletes with their placement on scholarship, sourcing over $100 million in financial assistance on their behalf. Working with over 2000 American academic institutions and sports programmes, FirstPointUSA is the premier service provider of it's kind.
Once you apply, we assess your academic and sporting goals and determine your suitability for the sport scholarship experience. We can then decide whether to offer you a place. We will meet you personally and spell out exactly what being a collegiate athlete in the United States means.
Uniquely, as a FirstPointUSA client you have the right to reject any scholarship offers and still maintain your place on the programme, for the remainder of your service agreement. Because we only recommend clients who are suitable student-athletes and potential scholarship material, colleges trust our judgement.
