Alex McLeish

Birmingham City FC Manager

“The opportunity for young players to use their sporting talent to gain a valuable education in the USA is something that should be taken very seriously. EDUSPORTUSA can help provide young Scottish Sportsmen and women with professional guidance and assistance throughout the process of securing a sports scholarship in the USA .”

Claudio Reyna

New York Red Bulls (MLS) and USA National Team (112 caps)

“Before becoming a professional and captaining the US National team, I came through the US scholarship program at the University of Virginia, so understand the opportunities available through such a program. Professional soccer is a very uncertain career and the benefits of a full time education can not be underestimated. EDUSPORT USA can help young athletes use their sporting talent to earn a valuable education at an American University and should they be successful, the option of becoming professional after completing their degree is still a realistic one.”

Andy Dorman

Midfielder, St Mirren FC (Scottish Premier League)

"I finished school at 17 after getting my A levels and also being released from a professional club. I got the opportunity to go over to the USA on a soccer scholarship which i was completely undecided on because I wanted to play football professionally. But I ended up going over and throughly enjoyed the experience. At the end of the four years I had a degree which I hope to use in the future and was also lucky enough to play in the MLS once I was finished. I would highly recommend going over to the US to college and using EDUSPORTUSA would be a great way to make the most of your sporting ability and gain an education. My PE teacher at school had contacts in America and helped me find a college which was willing to offer me a scholarship. However if you don't have contacts in the US, EDUSPORTUSA is a great alternative to use."

Roy Fink

UMASS Assistant Coach

“Going to school here in America really changed my life. I got my education while playing a good level of soccer, making friends and getting education all at the same time. This was probably the best four years of my life; I made friends from all around the world and got my education paid for all at the same time. I was lucky enough to win the NCAA championship and several individual awards. It was just an amazing experience and although I was scared to move at first, it was probably the best decision I made in my life. I would definitely recommend EDUSPORT USA to anyone thinking about studying in the USA ”.

Paul Stewart

(Ireland) Alumni, Long Island University C.W.Post (M.Sc.), Adelphi University, New York. (B.Sc.)

“I can honestly say as an International student from Ireland, I have lived “The American Dream”, I played in the National League of Ireland before considering a move to the United States. Playing week in and week out with the top players in the country, I knew that the only way forward for me was another challenge and securing a future for when my playing days were finished. First, I was offered a full scholarship to Adelphi University, New York. After 3 years of incredible soccer and hard work I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education. From there I continued on the education trail, I was offered a full scholarship to Long Island University, C.W. Post, N.Y. completing my Masters of Science in Education Technology.

There is no question that the opportunity that EDUSPORT USA offers is a once in a lifetime experience. Not only to meet new friends from different countries and cultures, but to play at a level that is as close to professional and give yourself the opportunity of a Bachelors, Masters or even Doctorate Degrees.

It has been an amazing experience for me; now back in Ireland I work as a College Tutor in Exercise Science and a Personal Trainer in a Private Pilates and Personal Training Centre. I have no doubt that I would not have had the fortune of working in the job I love if it was not for a Soccer Scholarship in America.”

Lorne McPherson

(Scotland) Alumni - St Leo, (Florida)  NCAA II

“Studying in the USA was one of the best experiences of my life and given the chance I would do it all over again. I was lucky enough to study in Florida at Saint Leo University, a small school with roughly 1200 students. I played for the soccer team while at the same time working towards my degree in CIS. I was always mad about soccer and like every young player wanted to play professionally. As I got older however I realized my dream of carrying out that ambition became less and less…then there was the chance of a soccer scholarship. The opportunity to train every day like a pro was just too good to pass up. It also gave me the chance to meet people and make loads of new friends, many of which I still stay in touch with and visit. It is something which can only be explained fully from first hand experience but my advice to anyone considering doing it with EDUSPORT USA: Go for it, you wont be disappointed.”

Robbie Weir

Sophmore Forward, St Francis Terriers (New York), NCAA I

"When I was released from St Mirren, I thought my world have caved in. After coming to terms with being freed, I decided to pursuse a scholarship in America with EDUSPORTUSA. The four months I have spent in New York so far have been nothing short of amazing. The competition of soccer is very high, a lot higher than I thought before I came. I have made a lot of new friends from all over the world and find the schoolwork interesting. I would definitely urge anyone who is contemplating coming to the USA to go for it. I made a great decision to come here and have never looked back. EDUSPORTUSA can help you achieve your goals and dreams
