COLLEGE STAR agency makes it possible for young athletes to get sports scholarships in universities in the USA.
What are sports scholarships?
Sports scholarships are financial means (checks, money orders, cash...) that a student athlete receives from a university and in return plays for their sports team. In the United states there are scholarships for young athletes both in the men's and women's categories, like: basketball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, water polo, soccer, athletics…The tuition fees depend on the ranking of the university and range between 20.000$ and 40.000$ annually. It includes: lectures, textbooks, tutors, accommodation expenses, meals and taxes. If a student athlete is granted a 100 % scholarship all this expenses are covered for him. The scholarship does not cover: airplane tickets, health insurance, visas and expenses related to preparations for studying in the USA. In addition, the university covers the expenses of traveling related to sport and competitions, like airfares, accommodation meals ... The universities provide athletes with sports equipment. The percentage of the scholarship that the athlete receives depends on one's athletic qualities. For women, 100% scholarships are commonly granted, while for men scholarships range from 60 % to 90%. This is because men's sports are more popular and the available budget is divided on more athletes. For example, in a tennis team there are six players and two reserve players. The coach usually has four or five full scholarships that he needs to distribute on a minimum of eight players in a way that everybody is satisfied. Who will be granted a larger or a smaller scholarship is decided only by the coach depending on player's talent and results. It is important to say that a sports scholarship is granted on an annual basis. The following year, the coach, depending on the individual and team results, makes a new distribution of the funds in his budget. The percentage of the scholarship also depends on the time period when the student enrolls in the university. You can go to study in the USA in January (spring semester) or in August (fall semester).
