STUDENT LIFE IN THE USA

On the one hand, as a college athlete you have a certain reputation on campus; on the other hand, the university is more than just a place to study. The different sports teams of the respective universities create a unique community that is rarely found otherwise. Another important feature are scholarships, you can find out more about them on this page ...
WHAT IS A SCHOLARSHIP?
A scholarship is a financial help to finance studies in the States. The amount of money for your studies is not paid out and is only used to minimize your study costs. Unlike in Europe (e.g. BAföG), you do not have to pay back the money you get from your scholarship. You can receive a scholarship for either your athletic talent or your academic skills. A scholarship can help you with the following costs: tuition, rent, textbooks, tutoring, health insurance, athletic equipment, and more.
