About American Rugby Scholarships
Our Story
Many young international rugby players dream of pursuing their playing career and education in the USA. My son was one of those athletes. Like many families, we invested thousands in an agency and navigated the complexities of university applications, highlight reels, coach communication, visiting and assessing universities, and learning what to do and, importantly,
what not to do.
After my son received nine scholarship offers to play Division 1 Rugby in the US, I decided to launch a consultancy service focused on American rugby scholarships to share my insights as a parent and as an American
living in the UK.
My mission is to help others find the right fit for their collegiate rugby journey through honesty, transparency, and without the high agency price tag often associated with rugby scholarships in America.
We start with a free initial consultation, followed by an in-depth personalized strategy session, and create a plan for additional assistance tailored to your support and budget needs. We offer a cost-effective and fully customizable alternative where you pay-as-you-go and choose the level of support or financial commitment that suits you.
American Rugby Scholarships is an agency with a difference, empowering you to take control of your scholarship journey in the competitive landscape of rugby scholarships USA.
