We help talented golfers aged 14 - 18 get recruited on college golf scholarships
Our USA Scholarship Trials are back, find your closest event and register today
To date, we've sent over 40,000 young men and women to the US, Securing over $2.4 billion in scholarship awards and finding a place for every single qualifying applicant.
Every year, thousands of student-athletes and their families come face-to-face with the difficult challenge of securing a scholarship to an American university. What they often discover is that navigating university options is stressful enough, and adding sports into the mix brings it to a whole new level.
Even for those who do a little recruiting homework, they are often left with more questions, very few simple answers and an uneasy feeling they are somehow falling behind.
At FirstPoint, we understand what you’re going through. Many of us have experienced first-hand what the scholarship recruiting experience is like—as players and as coaches. And that experience, combined with our advanced online technology, expansive college coach network and proven recruiting methods, helps thousands of student-athletes and their families take control of their recruiting experience.
Whether you are an aspiring high school student or ambitious nationally ranked athlete, FirstPoint helps take the stress of uncertainty out of your scholarship journey by putting a plan in place to help you find your best university options in the USA.
It truly was a life-changing experience to be part of the golf team at Ole Miss.

I've improved so much since going to America. The collegiate lifestyle has really improved my consistency, playing every day, and the standard of golf is so much higher.

Our age range for participants attending our golf trial is 14 – 18 years old. Typically, student athletes will not leave for the USA to begin their scholarship journey until 18 years of age, starting either in the Fall (August) or Spring (January). However, the recruitment and placement process will require a minimum of 18 months.
The number of players we can accept for a trial is limited to 12 places per event, so early registration is encouraged.
Each trial event will start at 0900 and end at approximately 1500. This will include a presentation at the start of the day which we encourage parents/guardians to attend, and a variety of skill session blocks. It will conclude with a 9-hole playing assessment.
After the event you will receive feedback on your performance within 48 working hours. If you are successful, you will be invited to an interview with our Director of Golf to discuss the process and your eligibility for a scholarship. If you are eligible, you will be offered a place on our golf program after the interview.
We run College ID trials at venues across the world offering you the opportunity to be assessed by our team of coaches, or you can send us your match footage
If you are successful at our trial or your footage is passed by our assessment team, you’ll be invited to an interview (with a parent or guardian) to determine your eligibility to become a FirstPoint athlete
