How to Get a Soccer Scholarship in the USA

A soccer scholarship in the USA depends on a few key factors, including your age, athletic ability, academic achievements, and when you apply.

🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️ Age Requirements

• Ideally, you should be between 16 and 25 years old.
• If you’re already in college, you should be in your 5th or 6th semester at most.
• If you want to complete your entire degree in the U.S., it’s best to start right after high school graduation. Waiting too long after graduating can reduce your eligibility and chances for a scholarship.

🏅 Athletic Performance

• Your athletic ability is the most important factor for getting a good scholarship.
• Coaches will assess your skills based on past achievements, talent (through videos), letters of recommendation, and official performance results.

🎓 Academic Performance

• A high school diploma (general or subject-specific) is required for university admission.
• Your final grades, TOEFL score, and, if applicable, SAT/ACT results are all critical in your academic evaluation.

🕑 Timing of Application

• Applying early increases your chances of receiving better scholarship offers. Coaches plan their teams well in advance and allocate scholarships as they go.
• Starting the process early ensures coaches still have scholarship funds available to offer you higher amounts.
• Waiting too long might mean coaches have already spent their budget on other athletes.

Tip: The entire process can take 8 to 18 months depending on how quickly you submit your athlete profile and cooperate in the process.
