Frequently asked
questions
Sports in the Usa (5)
How are the divisions in the USA structured?
The NCAA DI is the largest and, overall, the strongest division. However, there are also teams in the NAIA and the NCAA DII that can keep up with the teams of the NCAA DI very well.
The level or performance of the teams does not directly determine whether a team plays in Division I or Division II, but the size of the universities and the number of sports offered usually determines in which division a university will play.
How do the competitions take place in the USA?
In most sports, the official competitions take place in only one semester of the academic year. At the end of the competition semester, regional and national tournaments are held to determine the respective champions.
If you are successful in the conference (about 10 teams per conference), you can qualify for the “Regional Championships” and then for the “National Championships”. These enjoy high popularity and are often broadcasted on TV. During the semester of competition in the ball sports, 1-2 times a week you travel with your sports team to other, often far away universities to compete against them. In the individual sports, competitions usually take place in a 2-week rhythm.

What does a typical day as a "student athlete" look like?
A normal day as an athlete at an American university can look like this: Getting up, depending on when your first class starts (sometimes they don’t start until 12 o’clock). On some days, you and your team may have early morning fitness training. After your lectures you will have lunch in the “Dining Hall”, which you usually have 30-60 minutes for. Every afternoon your schedule will include about 2 hours of training. The training is generally very professionally structured with fitness training, possibly strength training and sport-specific coordination training (this can vary depending on the sport). Due to the professional training, many players can increase their performance extremely and often reach a new level, which allows some of them to pursue a professional sports career after finishing college. The training usually lasts 2 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. One day per week is always free of training. Afterwards you will have dinner with your friends or team mates. Most of the time the atmosphere in the “Dining Hall” is very special because only students come together here. After dinner you are free. Either you will have to prepare for the next day in the library, enjoy the evening program on campus, where there are always lots of activities on offer, or go to the city with other students. Since everything on campus is very centered, you will meet new people very quickly.
What is the NCAA?
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a non-profit association that organizes the sports programs of many colleges and universities in the US and Canada. The NCAA regulates more than 1200 institutions, organizations and individuals who are committed and interested in optimizing the training conditions of student athletes.The headquarters of the NCAA is located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Due to the large audience, the popularity and the corresponding marketing through the media, university sports in the United States plays a bigger role than in any other country in the world.
The NCAA checks the eligibility of each athlete in the NCAA divisions. The NCAA will provide the athlete with a player’s license as without which they cannot compete in the NCAA division I or II. The factors that determine whether a player gets this permission or not, are their SAT test results and academic results. In addition, the Clearinghouse checks whether an athlete meets the “amateur” status according to American standards. The fee for registration is currently $120. For the eligibility of an athlete, the NCAA Clearinghouse is the final authority.

What are my chances of starting a professional sports career after college?
Some of today’s top athletes were former college athletes. For example: Tyson Gay (University of Akransas), Tiger Woods (Stanford), Borlee brothers (Florida), Kisty Coventry (Auburn), Jason Kidd (California) and Michael Phelps (University of Michigan).
The table below demonstrates the number of participants in the Olympics per University, it shows that after your studies, all doors are open. Stanford University alone brought 46 Olympic competitors to Beijing.
The University of Florida alone represented 19 swimmers from 15 countries and the athletes from the University of Southern California alone won 21 medals in Beijing.
On the one hand, you get all the help you need to prepare your career as a professional after college. On the other hand, if things do not go as planned, for example, a serious injury occurs and you receive no professional contract, then at least you have completed an excellent education and you must look forward to a successful career in your field of interest.

Studies (9)
What can I study in the USA?
A sports scholarship does not limit you in any way regarding your field of study. That means you can study what you want. You enroll at an institute of your choice as a regular student would and enjoy the privileges of an athlete. Most universities offer a very wide range of study programs. An important part of our service is to help you choose the right university to find the one that best suits your needs and interests.
Are American universities even internationally recognized?
To answer your question, you can look at two of the most important worldwide university rankings, which show that the best universities in the world are mainly located in the USA and are therefore internationally recognized.
http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/hybrid.asp?typeCode=438
Here you can also see that the European universities are unfortunately only occasionally internationally competitive compared to the American universities.
But that is great news for you. Without scholarships, these institutes simply cannot be paid. On top of that, the university pays for a large part or even all of your expenses and also offers you great conditions for your sport. At a university like Harvard, Stanford, Yale or any other top faculty, you have the best chances on the job market after your studies.
Isn't it difficult to do the whole study in English?
Many of our clients have exactly the same fear, but with all of them it is the case that after 3-4 weeks they already speak English really well, because they speak English all day long with the trainer, team mates and friends in a relaxed environment. Even athletes who only had mediocre english skills have already achieved very good marks in the first semester. In addition, the TOEFL test ensures that your English skills are good enough to successfully complete a study in the USA. American colleges are very internationally oriented and in every course there are students whose native language is not English.
Will my academic achievements be accepted in Europe or anywhere else in the world?
In Europe, as a result of the Bologna Reform, the American university system was largely adopted. As a result, it is easier for students to transfer the credits earned at one university to another. The American university system is generally considered one of the best in the world and a degree from an American university is accepted practically everywhere.
Can I start my studies at home and continue them in the USA?
To be fair, we would like to point out the problems that can occur when you first study in Europe:
1. In the USA you are only eligible to start in the sports leagues until you have completed 8 full-time semesters, whether in Europe or the USA. Every semester you study in Germany will be deducted from your eligibility, so you might lose the chance to finish your studies in the USA if your credits from Europe are not recognized. If you only want to spend one year abroad in the USA or Canada, this is of course no problem.
2. The older you are, the less attractive you are to the trainers, as they would like to build you up over 4 years. With every semester that you are less eligible to compete, they lose the opportunity to develop you further.
How can I combine studies and sports?
In the USA, in contrast to European universities, class schedules are adapted to training and competitions, so that there are no conflicts between sports and studies. Many universities have special tutors for athletes who help with all academic matters and make sure that neither sport nor study suffer from each other.
Sure, you have to do a lot for good grades in the USA, too, but through the specific support of athletes this usually works out much better.

How do European and American university systems differ?
In the USA, undergraduate schools are those universities that can be attended immediately after high school. In addition to the High School Diploma (or even the international degrees, such as the Abitur or Matura), applicants are required to have certain minimum grades, good letters of recommendation, copies of written papers and sometimes even admission interviews. The TOEFL and SAT are also common at almost all universities. As an undergraduate student, you broaden your intellectual horizon by studying subjects of all disciplines in the first year, regardless of your career aspirations. Students of four-year colleges, for example, only have to decide on a major after one year.
Where will I live / sleep / eat?
Most students live on the university campus in twin rooms in student residences. In many universities there are dormitories that are specifically reserved for athletes and then offer even greater comfort. Every university has a so-called “Dining Hall” where breakfast, lunch and dinner are offered as a buffet, this can also be included in the sports scholarship. As an athlete, you not only get the best food here, but also save a lot of time, because you don’t have to do the shopping or cooking yourself.
When and how long are semester breaks in the USA?
Summer break: Early May to mid August
Winter break: Mid December to mid January
Spring break: 1 week in March
Fall break : 1 week in October
These vacations can be used for training camps or travel in the USA.

scholarships (10)
Where do the financial funds for the scholarship come from?
Due to a large audience that love sports and detailed media coverage, university sports in the United States plays a far more important role than is the case in most other countries of the world. The revenue from televising and ticket revenue ensures the excellent financial base of the college teams. The television channel CBS paid $10 trillion for the television rights of NCAA in 2010 for golf, track and field, swimming, soccer, tennis and basketball. These funds are, among others, used to award scholarships to sports.
Why do universities award scholarships?
American universities have a long tradition in terms of university sports. The teams of the universities are the flagships and with the success of the teams at the University not only do they get ticket and advertising revenues but also many new students. For young Americans the strength of the college teams plays an important role when choosing a college, as fans they cheer for the team. In this context, the sports teams also serve as a marketing tool for the universities to recruit new students. For this reason, the university coaches budget for the support of talented athletes from home and abroad. The athletes can thereby (fully or partially) cover the tuition fees and living expenses.
What are the requirements for studying and receiving a sport scholarship in the US or Canada?
You must have completed high school to obtain approval/eligibility for playing in the college leagues. If you are already studying at a university, it is possible to transfer your credits. To be eligible for a scholarship you have to pay attention to the special regulations regarding maximum age and the number of completed semesters. In Division 1, there is a maximum age of 25 years. In Division 2 and NAIA there is no maximum age. In all leagues, you must study a total of 8 full-time semesters. So if one studies, for example, 4 full-time semesters, whether in Europe or in the US, you still have 4 semesters to study and compete for a college or university. The NCAA reviews the eligibility of each athlete in the NCAA divisions. It will provide the athletes with a license, without which they are not allowed to compete in the NCAA I or II. The factors that determine whether a player gets eligible or not, are SAT and TOEFL results as well as the final grades in high school. In addition, the NCAA checks whether an athlete has “amateur” status in accordance with its regulations. For deciding eligibility of an athlete, the NCAA Clearinghouse is the final authority.
How do I get a sports scholarship?
For athletes outside the United States, it is difficult to obtain an athletic scholarship in the USA without professional help and excellent contacts. There are many rules and regulations of the organizations that regulate the protection of athletes to college sports. This makes the process complicated. Scholarbook provides talented athletes the necessary expertise and network to help to receive excellent offers from the US. We support you throughout the entire process. You can find the sport requirements on our home page, specific to each sport.
What is the amount of scholarship based on?
A scholarship depends mainly on your athletic skills. The coach has a specific budget, he can distribute it however he wants each year. Depending on how interested he is in you, he will send you an offer, covering for example 60%, 80% or even 100% of the costs. In addition, American universities encourage good school performance with academic scholarships, which are awarded in addition to athletic scholarship. These depend primarily on the SAT, the TOEFL score and grades from school.
What part of the cost does an athletic scholarship cover?
It depends on your athletic and academic achievements. Through our contacts with coaches and regular trips to the US, your chances of getting a high scholarship are very good when you have already gotten a positive opportunity assessment. Costs for tuition, food and living on campus are currently on average about $25,000 a year. If a coach offers you a “Full Scholarship” (100% scholarship), as 80% to 90% of our customers get,it means that the university pays all of these costs for you.
What period of time does the scholarship cover?
In the beginning your athletic scholarship is guaranteed for one year. After each year you can renegotiate with the coach and if you have performed well increase the percentage of your sports scholarship. Generally it is the rule that once you have received an athletic scholarship, it is valid for four years. You can end your studies at any time.
Can I lose my scholarship?
You cannot lose your scholarship because of poor performance or injury. The coach knows that injuries and poor shape occur in sports and is prepared for it. You can lose your scholarship, however, if you cheat on an exam at school, your grade point average drops below a minimum requirement, you’re unfair playing sports, or if you don’t follow the rules of the college.
How can Scholarbook help me?
College coaches are constantly looking for good athletes for their teams. Every semester they receive hundreds of applications from potential candidates from all over the world who dream of a sports scholarship. A coach needs very specific information to even look at your application. Often the dream fails because of certain documents that are not translated correctly, for example. Scholarbook does not only search and select talents from the European countries for the coaches, but we help you to get the best offers. Especially important is our personal contact to coaches from universities all over the USA.
What are the chances of receiving a full scholarship and what conditions must be fulfilled to receive it?
First and foremost, the amount of the sports scholarship depends on your sporting achievements. The better you are, the better your chances of receiving a full scholarship. Since we check in advance with which athletes we work together and always give a fair assessment of your chances, you already have a very good chance to get a full scholarship with a positive assessment. For example, even if you receive an 80% scholarship in the first year, this can be increased to a full scholarship in the following year if you have good academic and athletic performance.
SAT and Toefl (14)
What is the SAT test?
The Scholastic Aptitute Test (SAT) consists of a mathematics and an English section. Each student must take this test at the beginning of the process. It is required to register with the NCAA Clearinghouse and apply to universities.
What is the TOEFL test?
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a language test for students whose native language is not English. It is required by almost all universities in the English-speaking world when a student applies.
How is the TOEFL iBT structured?
The test consists of four parts and takes about 4 hours.
| Section | Time | No. of Questions |
| Reading | 60-100 min | 36 – 70 |
| Listening | 60-90 min | 34 – 51 |
| Break | 10 min | |
| Speaking | 20 min | 6 tasks |
| Writing | 50 min | 2 tasks |
How do I find the TOEFL code for my university?
The best way is to search for the domain of the university in the following document.
For example: Virginia Tech University search for www.vt.edu
http://www.ets.org/Media/Tests/TOEFL/pdf/univ0708.pdf
For example: Virginia Tech University search for www.vt.edu
http://www.ets.org/Media/Tests/TOEFL/pdf/univ0708.pdf
Which academic institutions accept my TOEFL score?
More than 5000 academic institutions in over 90 countries accept or require TOEFL results as proof of academic English proficiency. This makes TOEFL the most widely accepted academic English test in the world. A list of all institutions that accept TOEFL results (score recipients or designated institutions) can be found on the international website: www.ets.org/toefl.
Is it possible to take a practice test?
There are several ways to do the exercise:
- the free online tour allows you to view sample questions from all four test parts
- you can download the free TOEFL® iBT-Tips brochure
- TOEFL® Practice Online
This practice test provides a complete authentic TOEFL test for all four language skills with numerous exercises to help you prepare yourself and allows you to predict your official score as you will also receive results from the TOEFL Practice Online Test.
Furthermore, literature is recommended in our free help presentation.
Do I have to take both tests or is one enough?
We would like to relieve you of the burden of the two tests, but unfortunately you have to take them both. Since you want to go to the USA as soon as possible and the coaches ask for it, we recommend that you check off the tests early. Afterwards we can turn to the more enjoyable part of the work.
How much preparation time do I need for the test approximately?
During the preparation it depends of course on how intensively you prepare yourself.
If you study 1-2 hours every day for the two tests, 6 weeks of preparation will probably be enough. If you study 1 hour three times a week for the tests, you should prepare for two and a half months.

How many points should I score on the TOEFL or SAT?
You can prepare very well for the SAT and TOEFL and thus strongly influence your result. There are a total of 2400 points to be achieved on the SAT and you should score at least 1200 points, i.e. half. In TOEFL you should score 80 points out of a maximum of 120. Of course, in both tests, the higher the better. A decent result will open doors for you at many universities.
Do I have to indicate my future university when I enroll in TOEFL?
You do not need to specify universities that you can already exclude now. You can have the test result sent to up to three universities for free. We recommend that you have the result sent to your favorites. If you unexpectedly receive another great offer, it is still possible to send the result afterwards. In the first step, the coaches usually only ask if you have taken the test and passed it passably.
If you don’t know which university/college is right for you, they will send you a university identification number for the TOEFL and SAT tests. With this number, ETS knows to which university it should send your score.

On TOEFL I read that I really have to speak on the test. Do I then talk to a computer?
Yes, you will sit in front of a computer with a headset and microphone. The program will then speak to you and ask you to speak in a monologue. For more information about the oral part, please see the ETS website and any TOEFL preparation book.
What do I need to take to the TOEFL and SAT tests?
For the TOEFL test, you must take the printed admission ticket with you. Your identity card or passport is also important.
For both the SAT and TOEFL, my name is on the registration form. However, I have two other names that I did not give on my application. Do I have to have this changed or will I still be admitted to the tests?
The institutes insist that the registration form must state exactly the name you will identify yourself with on the test day. So if your middle name is on your identification document, you MUST indicate the change before taking the test, otherwise you will not be admitted to the exam.
The SAT registration form says that you should bring a CD player. What do I need it for?
The CD player is only for the Subject Language Test and not for the normal SAT. http://sat.collegeboard.com/register/sat-test-day-checklist.
Financial (2)
What costs that are not covered by the sports scholarship?
The university covers as many costs as possible. However, the competition authority of the college sport has imposed some conditions. For example, the university is not allowed to pay for flights to and from the USA. Local costs for textbooks can arise, but at many universities in the USA there is the possibility to buy used textbooks and sell them at the end of the semester. Training camp and accommodation is completely covered by the university! Private activities, such as cultural events, going out in the evening or museums, must of course be paid for by the student. Even here we benefit from the still quite favorable Euro-Dollar exchange rate. A pocket money of about 200 Euro, corresponding to the child benefit, which is still paid, is recommended.

Formalities (2)
When should I apply for my passport?
The best thing to do is to order your passport immediately at your local city hall.
Will my child continue to receive child support if it studies in the USA?
The student’s place of residence is decisive for the child support. Since the residence remains in the home country during the studies in the USA, all our clients who are also entitled to child support will continue to receive child support in the USA. The child benefit already covers a large part of the few remaining monthly costs on campus. Another formal requirement is that a separate apartment or room in the parents’ house must be available for the student during the stay abroad.
Special questions (1)
My dream has always been to live or study in the USA. Unfortunately I am a junior high school student. I have read that it is still possible to take a certain test after graduation, is that right?
There is the so-called GED, General Educational Development Test. Unfortunately, the organization responsible for organizing college sports only admits athletes who have completed a vocational baccalaureate or Abitur in Germany. If you are planning to do this after your secondary school graduation, we will be happy to help you find your dream scholarship in the USA.
Consulting agreement (4)
In §1 it says: "1. the client hereby instructs the contractor to advise him on the following decisions/projects: To obtain a sports scholarship and, if applicable, an academic scholarship at a university in the U.S.A. of Canada. How may I understand the "if applicable" in relation to my position as an athlete? Does this refer to people who want to do sports in the USA and do not want to study?
The support in the USA is very pleasant as it encourages and rewards performance in any form. This is also the great advantage over the european university system.
Academic scholarships can also be awarded to athletes in addition to a sports scholarship, provided they have good grades and a good SAT score. See also: Costs

From when is § 3 para. 2 to be observed? This concerns the regular contact with the trainer in the USA.
There is no concrete time limit in § 3 para. 2. The tasks according to § 3 para. 2 are to be fulfilled as soon as possible after conclusion of the contract, so that we can obtain offers for you. Therefore a prompt completion of the tasks is especially in your interest.
Which certificate do I need to have translated?
Of course, only the current certificates can be translated.
Regarding §8 Confidentiality and data protection: Which entrusted personal data will be passed on exactly? And can agreements be made in this regard?
Of course, we only pass on data for which we have your consent. We would present your athletic successes, your date of birth, your email address and your school data (approximate average grade and date of graduation).
parents (12)
How often and how long can my child come home?
The long vacations in which your child can come home are:
Summer break: Beginning of May until mid August
Winter break: mid December to mid January
All in all, you will have your child near you for about 4 months of the year, which will most likely mean more time together than studying in a distant city in your home country.
In addition, you can visit your child at any time during the year or during the spring vacation in March or the fall vacation in October in the USA.

What happens if my child does not like it at the university?
Even before departure, we try to ensure that your child gets a personal impression of the trainer(s) and that the two get along well beyond the sport. In many cases, the universities have also paid a visit of the athletes in the USA or have introduced themselves personally. Your child can also terminate his or her studies at any time for personal reasons and return home. The contract is only binding for the university.
What can I do if my child gets into the wrong team/the wrong university?
Due to our presence in the USA we know most of the coaches personally and have already personally inspected the universities as well as the sports facilities. In this way we can ensure that your child is well supported in sports and academics, but definitely not overwhelmed.
We especially work with universities that already have several satisfied international students.

What happens in case of an injury? Is there professional medical help available?
Unfortunately, injuries are part of the life of a competitive athlete, but with good medical care, they can be prevented as far as possible or at least treated professionally. Research in the field of sports medicine is more advanced in the USA than in any other country. Since the universities have very good financial resources, they can employ several physiotherapists and doctors who are available to the athletes every day. After all, it makes no economic sense to invest so much money in the athletes if they would not receive the best care in case of injuries.
Will my child continue to receive child support in the USA?
The student’s place of residence is decisive for the child support. Since the residence remains in the home country during the studies in the USA, all our clients who are also entitled to child support will continue to receive child support in the USA. The child benefit already covers a large part of the few remaining monthly costs on campus. Another formal requirement is that a separate apartment or room in the parents’ house must be available for the student during the stay abroad.
Can my child in the USA continue to receive a half-orphan's pension?
Yes, this is easily possible. Please send the current certificate of enrollment to the person in charge regularly. The pension can be transferred to a domestic or an American bank account. In the case of an American account, however, all transaction fees from the border onward will be charged to the pension recipient.
What costs are not covered by the scholarship and can occur?
The university covers as many costs as possible. However, the competition authority of the college sport has imposed some conditions. For example, the university is not allowed to pay for flights to and from the USA. Local costs for textbooks can arise, but at many universities in the USA there is the possibility to buy used textbooks and sell them at the end of the semester.

Even here we benefit from the still quite favorable Euro-Dollar exchange rate. A pocket money of about 200 Euro, corresponding to the child benefit, which is still paid, is recommended.
What obligations arise for the athlete from such a scholarship?
The athlete undertakes to practice the respective sport in the name of the university and to represent it at competitions. This is also accompanied by regular participation in training. Financial obligations or other disadvantages are not associated with this.
Is there doping at universities in the USA?
The NCAA conducts thousands of unannounced doping tests each year. If a doping case were to occur, the coach would be banned for life and the entire team would be suspended. Since the coaches are usually full-time employees, a doping case in a team would therefore be absolutely threatening the existence of the team. Furthermore, there are anti-doping officers at every university who try to prevent doping.
Are flight costs included in the scholarship?
The universities would be happy to pay for flights to the athletes’ home countries, but NCAA statutes do not allow them to do so. Flights to and from competition venues, however, are paid for by the university, as are other local travel expenses. Accommodation is usually in very nice hotels, as travel budgets are usually generous.
How do we pay the fee?
You can pay the Scholarbook fee as well as the final fee comfortably by bank transfer to our German account. In case of a refund of the Scholarbook contribution we will transfer the money back to the same account.
Is an additional private health insurance to be taken out?
It is quite possible that an additional health insurance must be taken out. You will find out about this from the respective universities with which we put you in contact.
