By sending young tennis players to some of the most prestigious and highly athletically ranked universities in the US. Although our name has changed our vision still remains the same to help the young tennis stars of today fulfill their American dream and compete at the NCAA level while receiving a university degree!
Mission
Today, our mission is to support young student athletes in their dual project of joining an American university while continuing to play tennis at a high level.
We are committed to providing a highly personalized support for each profile.

How does the scholarship system work in the USA?
Scholarships can be athletic scholarships or academic scholarships. Each year, American coaches have a more or less important budget depending on the university’s resources. They are free to allocate this budget as they wish, within the limits of the rules imposed by the NCAA (or the sports federation in question). Depending on the athlete’s level and the interest of the coach, he or she may offer a more or less important sports scholarship.
Academic scholarships can be combined with sports scholarships. These scholarships are conditioned by the academic level and the results of the admission exams. The academic level is therefore very important, both for admission and for the scholarship.
