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

Guro Rambjør

Florida Tech
Jeg anbefaler CSUSA fordi de fant flere forskjellige skoler og scholarships, slik at jeg faktisk kunne velge mellom flere skoler slik at jeg fant den som passet best for meg.

Kristine Kloda

Keiser University, Florida
Å være student-athlete i USA er utrolig moro. Ikke bare det å reise rundt å spille golf på fantastiske baner med et supert lag, men også det å få oppleve amerikansk kultur er en utrolig opplevelse. Jeg er veldig heldig som får kombinere studier med golf i Florida.

Sandra Ostad

University of Missouri
Alt som kreves for at du skal ha suksess som student og en utøver er her! Universitetet er like opptatt som deg at du skal oppnå resultater og vil gjøre alt de kan for at du skal lykkes. Å være en student-athlete er en fantastisk opplevelse.

Marius Krathe

Stony Brook University, New York
Det var kjempegøy å spille kamp som sendes live på ESPN borte mot University of Connecticut. Det var over 4,000 tilskuere der noe som skapte en veldig bra ramme rundt fotballkampen. Jeg spilte hele kampen, og dette er noe av det største jeg har vært med på fotballmessig.

Anka Grotle

University of Texas San Antonio
Som "student athlete" blir alt tilrettelagt for at du og laget skal lykkes både sportslig og med studiene. Det krever mykje av deg der disiplin er et nøkkelord, men i gjengjeld utvikler du deg enormt som person, noko eg trur er veldig positivt for studiene og når en gang skal ut i jobb

Martine Olsen

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Florida
Ikke bare får du drevet med idretten du elsker, mens du får en utdanning – du får bo i et annet land og oppleve en ny kultur og får venner fra hele verden. Og du skiller deg ut fra mengden når du skal søke jobb.

Vebjørn Olstad

Limestone College, South Carolina
CSUSA skapte en trygghet i at coachene som tok kontakt virkelig ønsket DEG som en del av deres lag. Istedenfor å jakte på skolene, ble man «headhuntet». CSUSA gir deg en unik mulighet til å finne den skolen som tilfredsstiller dine ønsker, behov og ikke minst drømmer.

Charlotte Husø

University of Texas San Antonio
Det er overraskende mye som må ordnes før avreise, og ikke minst er det store nettverket til CSUSA til stor nytte når man vil sikre seg er godt scholarship. Man får svært mye igjen for pengene, for å si det sånn.
