Sports Scholarships USA

International Showcase

Each candidate must attend a unique ‘International Showcase' event in the USA in July each year attended by coaches from over 70 American universities. The showcase is a 2 week residential camp in the USA involving international students from all over the world.

The 2009 International Showcase is scheduled to take place in mid-July in Florida, USA.  The cost of attendance will be A$4,500 which includes all accommodation, meals and coaching whilst in the USA.

The event is designed to:

• Allow you to showcase your skills
• Involve you in training sessions & workshops
• Place you in various games & matches against local teams
• Expose you to life on a USA university campus
• Participate in classes and tours
• Take part in cultural and social activities

Candidates are supervised by professional staff throughout and live on a university campus that includes dormitories equipped with air-conditioning, 24-hour security, computer labs, library, swimming pool, and access to all other athletic and academic facilities. Additionally, candidates have access to permanent medical attention; replicating the life-style that an international student would normally experience once at an American university.

The objective of the ‘International Showcase' is to promote a dynamic interaction between candidates and American university coaches with the purpose of assessing each individual's skills & abilities. During this process, coaches select the candidates  capable of making an impact in programs at all levels: NAIA, JUCO, and NCAA.

John Peers (Vic) Mentone Grammar School "The main experiences that stand out for me are speaking to and meeting with different coaches. Meeting the coaches gave me a real insight into what the different Colleges are all about and whether I would suit their teams. I not only learnt about US Colleges but also came away from the experience with a real idea of where I want to go and study."	Dijana Josevska (Vic) Victoria University "The program was highly organised, included various social events, a number of training sessions and games as well as information sessions which enabled us to learn more about the USA college system. I gained an insight to the USA college system and what it will be like to study and be an athlete at college level. I met a number of coaches and discussed the opportunities that will be available to me. I have made many new friends from around the globe including students from South America, UK, Spain, Sweden and Germany and have come away with wonderful memories."	Thomas Balle (QLD) Pacific Lutheran College "I attended the showcase in the US in 2006 and was successful in gaining a scholarship to Dickinson State University in North Dakota. The showcase was great. It was an opportunity to play basketball with players from around the world, under the watchful eyes of coaches and selectors from numerous universities. I learnt heaps, made some great friends and have been offered a scholarship. I start at Dickinson in August 2007!"
