FAQ
Your questions, answered
When should I start the process?
The earlier the better. Ideally you should start one to two years before your intended college start date, so there is time to prepare your profile, promotion and admissions.
Do I need a high level of English to apply?
Not to start the process. Each university has its own academic and language requirements, and we guide you to meet them during the preparation phase.
What football level do I need?
There are leagues for different levels: NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA. In the initial call we evaluate your profile and tell you honestly which range of programs fits you.
How much does studying in the USA with a scholarship cost?
With a scholarship, the yearly cost for the family goes from 0–6,000 USD for pro-level profiles up to more than 25,000 USD at top academic universities. The scholarship can cover up to 100% of the cost.
What exactly does the scholarship cover?
Every offer is different: it can cover tuition, housing, meals, health insurance, materials and travel — partially or in full.
What happens after signing with a university?
AGX stays with you throughout your college years: ongoing promotion, scholarship renegotiation, transfers and support with whatever you need.
How do you get a soccer scholarship in the United States?
You need a student-athlete profile: a highlight video, an athletic résumé, your academic record and promotion to college coaches. AGX builds that profile, promotes it across our network of 600+ universities and negotiates the offers with you and your family.
What age and academic requirements do I need?
Most players start between 16 and 20, in their final years of high school or just after graduating. You need your secondary school diploma and, depending on the university, English or admissions tests. In the initial call we tell you exactly which requirements apply to you.
How does the student visa work from Costa Rica or Latin America?
Once you accept an offer, the university issues your I-20. With it you apply for the F-1 student visa at the US embassy in your country. AGX manages the process with you: paperwork, appointment and interview prep.
