Could your athletic talents help you increase your chances of getting into an American university?

Every year, hundreds of Kiwi students end up at schools across the NCAA and NAIA, training in the most elite facilities and competing in front of huge crowds, all the while earning an undergraduate degree.

But with thousands of students competing for limited scholarships, it could be time to hit the books as hard as the training ground to improve your chances of getting recruited.

Whether you're a rower, swimmer, soccer player, runner (or an athlete in any one of the 24 scholarship eligible sports!) US Colleges look at more than just your sport results and level of representation. They also look closely at your high school grades and standardised test (SAT or ACT) scores.

This crucial information seminar is for aspiring college-athletes at all levels, to better understand how to maximise your chances of getting into your best-fit university!

• The academic benchmarks and eligibility requirements
• A comparison of the competition (NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA)

Parent Testimonial

"Crimson showed my daughter how to merge the academic with the athletic so she had support from both sides. Tessa and her team provided insight she could not get elsewhere. They were champions at my daughter's back and that made all the difference."
