The Process

Your road to success

The process of becoming a student-athlete is an important and life-changing step. Together with you and your parents, we will work on a personalized, customized plan that is fully supported by our unique Slamstox App. The process can be complex, but with our expertise and guidance, you’ll go through each step with confidence. Our goal? Making your ultimate sports and study adventure in America a reality!

The process in three phases

The process of getting a scholarship at an American university consists of 3 phases. Each phase consists of several key steps.

Phase 1

The preparation phase

This is the foundation of your success. We begin by getting to know your ambitions and desires. Then we build your profile, establish your eligibility, and prepare you for admission tests such as the SAT and TOEFL. Everything is designed to promote you to coaches and universities in the best possible way.

Your background, goals and ambitions are our focus. In a personal conversation, we will dive into your unique situation and create a customized plan that fits you perfectly. Because preparation is key!

Your path

Step 1

As a student-athlete, you must meet both academic and athletic eligibility requirements to play college sports. Together we will go through the "eligibility" process to make sure you meet all the criteria and are optimally prepared.

Step 2

The SAT and TOEFL test your skills in English and Mathematics. American universities require specific scores for admission. We make sure you are optimally prepared for these exams so that you go into the test with confidence.

Step 3

We build your Slamstox profile around your academic and athletic highlights. With action photos and videos, you'll create a powerful first impression with coaches in the US. This is how you show who you are as a student-athlete!

Phase 2

The conversation phase

In this phase, we engage in discussions with universities and coaches. We negotiate the best scholarships, and sometimes you even visit universities to make the right decision. This is when we go all out to find the perfect match for you.

In America, there are more than 2,000 universities with scholarships for student-athletes. Of course, not all of these schools suit you. Together, we carefully select the universities and coaches that truly align with your goals. With a personalized, tailor-made approach, we provide a pathway that is uniquely suited to our student-athletes!

Step 5

Many factors determine which university is right for you: the athletic level, academic offerings, location, campus size, coach and scholarship amount. Together we will explore what is important to you and find the university that perfectly fits your needs and goals.

Phase 3

The administration phase

Now comes the administrative work. From visa applications to insurance, registration and housing – we make sure everything is taken care of before you get on the plane. It’s a lot of steps, but we guide you through the whole process.

There's a lot of paperwork involved: transcripts, applications, letters of motivation and recommendation, test scores... We make sure everything checks out. Thanks to our experience, we know exactly what American schools expect and make sure your documents are in top form.

Step 7

Do you want to live on campus or prefer an apartment in the city? Will you choose your own international insurance or university insurance? Do you have all your medical paperwork in order for your university? We work closely together to make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you.

Step 8

As an international student in the US, you need an F-1 visa. We arrange everything for you: from making an appointment at the embassy to filling out the online forms. We make sure everything goes smoothly, so you can get through customs without any worries!
