You can spread these out over a period of 5 years after<br\/>graduating high school and when you have started an education. Have you already started a bachelor program in<br\/>the Netherlands? Then you can also transfer to America as a &#8216;transfer student&#8217;<br\/>, this means you can take your credits from the current school year with you to your American university. After finishing your Bachelor it is also possible to directly start a<br\/>master program in America. As a transfer student, it is important to have a clear picture of your remaining<br\/>eligibility. Slamstox can help you map out your remaining eligibility<br\/>(eligibility to play) and apply to the American sports federations.<br\/> <br\/>Not sure if you meet the requirements?
