U.S Sports Scholarships

No. Having a professional agent is against NCAA rules (see NCAA rule 12.3.1 ‘Use of Agents’) and having one could make you ineligible to compete in college sports. US Sports Scholarships does not provide services to professional athletes nor do we charge a fee based on the level of scholarship you receive. US Sports Scholarships’s fees are solely for the guidance and advice we provide throughout the athletic recruitment process.

US Sports Scholarships’s role is to pre-qualify your chances of receiving a sports scholarship, then guide you through the entirety of the recruitment process with suitable American colleges and universities. The company is not permitted to charge a fee for its services based on placing clients at American colleges with suitable sports scholarships. As a result, a refund would not be provided in cases where scholarships offered to clients were deemed ‘unsuitable’ by the client. NCAA rules state, “A prospective student-athlete may allow a scouting service or agent to distribute personal information to member institutions without jeopardizing his or her eligibility, [...]

NCAA rules prohibit any company or individual from guaranteeing your successful placement at a American college or university with an athletic scholarship. NCAA rules state: “A prospective student-athlete may allow a scouting service or agent to distribute personal information to member institutions without jeopardizing his or her eligibility, provided the fee paid to such an agent is not based on placing the prospective student-athlete in a collegiate institution as a recipient of institutional financial aid." (see NCAA rule 12.3.3.1 ‘Talent Evaluation Services & Agents’).

US Sports Scholarships’s fee is for the provision of services including, but not exclusive to; pre-qualifying the academic & athletic eligibility of its clients and successfully guiding them through the entirety of the scholarship. As the company is not permitted to charge a fee for its services based solely on scholarship offers secured for our clients, our fee is charged in advance of our services commencing. (See NCAA rule 12.3 Use of Agents’).  

We would always encourage each athlete to give the experience an entire year before making the decision whether they liked it or not. However if someone was so unhappy in the US that there was really no changing their outlook, then they are always free to come home. Homesickness is natural and it affects most people – you can work through it though, and your coach, team mates and family can play a part in helping you get through it. If you did decide to leave, it would of course leave the college, coach and our staff disappointed but ultimately, you [...]

The company will assess over 5,000 applicants per year but only carry 50 clients per sport per year on a rolling basis as part of our highly personal service.

If the injury was one that stopped a client from playing their sport, then a letter from their GP would be requested to explain the extent of the injury. At this time, a refund would be considered and calculated based on what stage of the service the client was being withdrawn. However, if it was found that the injury was either pre-existing, or had no bearing on the client's opportunity to compete then this would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The general rule of thumb is that after 14 days with US Sports Scholarships, as a client, the real expense [...]
