Fantastic Track & Field College Scholarships

A scholarship is money awarded to students attending universities in the United States with the purpose of reducing the cost of the education and living costs. A scholarship varies from 1-100% of the school’s total costs and may cover tuition fees, apartment, food and text books. A 100% scholarship will cover all of these costs for a student.

There are different types of scholarships: sports scholarship (for track & field athletes these are called track & field scholarships), academic scholarships and international scholarships. It is the coach of the school team that determines how much sports scholarship he/she can give a student. It is possible to get a combination of the different scholarships.

The biggest track & field scholarships are worth as much as $60,000 a year. Remember, a bachelor’s degree in the United States takes four years to complete, multiplying a $60,000 scholarship with four and you can get an education worth $240,000 covered through your athletic level. Quite simply amazing!

What our student-athletes say

Marthe Berg Sørensen

Long Island University Post, New York
I recommend everyone to travel to the US to combine education and sports, because you learn so much more by being a student-athlete in another country. Both the language, the culture, and the things in life that cannot be taught on the school bench. You will have incredible fun!

Markus Kvame Naglestad

Every member of Team CSUSA has been through the process themselves, while also having helped countless clients to fulfill their college dream.

Marius Krathe

Stony Brook University, New York
It was amazing to play a game broadcasted live on ESPN away to University of Connecticut. It was over 4,000 people in attendance that created a great atmosphere around the game. I played the whole game, and this is one of the biggest things I have experienced as a soccer player.

Camilla Olsson

CSUSA helps you with everything from paperwork, the application process, to getting offers from multiple schools. They give their best effort to get you the school that is the best match for you, so that you can have a great experience in the US.

Kristin Haugstad

La Salle University, Pennsylvania
College is "the full package"! The opportunity of playing at a high, almost professional, level, get a good education at an American university, and at the same experience a whole new place and a different culture, were definitely of the reasons for why I went.

Ida Hepsø

Kennesaw State University, Georgia
The best thing about being a student-athlete, must be everything I get to experience! I have met a lot of new people and seen many new cities and states that I would never have gotten to experience otherwise.

Kristine Kloda

Keiser University, Florida
Being a student-athlete in the USA is so much fun. Not just traveling around to play golf on fantastic courses with a great team, but also to experience American culture and way of life is an incredible experience. I am very lucky to be able to combine studies with golf in Florida.
