U.S Sports Scholarships is delighted to officially announce our exciting new partnership with the University of Essex Football Programme.
This is the first partnership between the University and an international student-athlete recruitment company and will provide excellent pathways for their talented undergraduate student-athletes to pursue graduate studies in America, as well as providing a great option for our applicants who decide to study in the UK for their undergraduate degree.
As part of the partnership, we will be holding future trial events for both men’s and women’s soccer at the University, which boasts some of the best sporting facilities in the entire country. We will be confirming dates for our first event in 2022 very soon so stay tuned in order to secure your place.
As a company we are very familiar with the outstanding reputation of the Essex Sport programme with our very own Ellie Rossiter having studied a Master’s degree in Sports Psychology at the University of Essex and represented the Essex Blades Female Football team. She is now a women’s soccer specialist at U.S. Sports Scholarships and helps assist future student-athletes.
