Summus College is a digital platform designed specifically for international student athletes looking to attend college or university in the USA on a sports scholarship. Our easy-to-use platform has everything you need in one place and makes understanding the US college system and recruitment process ahead of you simple. We want to educate you on the opportunities the US college sports system offers and give you the tools you need to unlock that dream US sports scholarship, all at an affordable price. Our digital platform is designed to support student athletes from every country playing every sport, here is a breakdown of how our platform works.&nbsp;

Get started by creating a fantastic profile. Getting recruited to the USA on a sports scholarship is like getting hired for a job, your Summus College profile is your sporting CV. It needs to be clear, concise and include all the relevant information that coaches are looking for, such as sporting and academic achievements. Our Summus College athlete profiles do exactly that. They walk you through all the information that coaches need and allow you to upload your own sports resume in case you want to provide additional details on specific achievements. If you get stuck, we also provide explainer videos and example athlete profiles to help you on your way. Creating your profile is completely free, follow the link below to get started today!

Once your profile is complete you'll want to understand your eligibility to attend college and university in the USA. A GPA, Grand Point Average, is the US academic grading system and allows universities to compare a student from one state or country to another. The NCAA has developed a complicated algorithm to translate your international grades into a US GPA, something that you will need to get recruited. Before you go down the expensive and timely path of submitting your grades to the NCAA eligibility centre, use our GPA calculator to understand what your GPA might be. Plug in your grades from any NCAA-eligible country and course of study and get an equivalent NCAA GPA in just a few clicks. This will help you understand what kinds of universities you will be able to attend and once saved to your profile it will help you stand out to coaches looking to recruit you. Our NCAA GPA calculator is available to athletes on our Digital Subscription.

The college and university recruitment journey can be a long road with a lot to learn and a lot of new phrases! You'll want to know what GPA and NCAA stand for, what a conference is and the difference between a university and college or NCAA Division 1 and Division 3. There is a lot to digest, we know, we've been through it! That is why we created our International Student Athlete Guide, a catalogue of videos and handbooks that will take you through every single step on your journey to that dream US scholarship. We walk you through everything, we give you an overview of the US college system, what you should be thinking about when putting your university list together, how to attract and communicate with coaches, what to expect from the NCAA eligibility centre and the Visa process, and much much more. Alongside our education videos, we also provide a physical guide and checklist to ensure that you know exactly what to do and when to do it. Parts of our Athlete Guide are free to everyone but to unlock the full set of videos and documents upgrade to our Digital Subscription.&nbsp;

Now it gets exciting, time to find your dream university or college! Our university guide gives you access to information on over 4,000 universities and colleges from all over the USA. As well as basic information on university type and location it provides detailed statistics on admissions, academics, demographics and finance. Although competing in your chosen sport may be your priority whilst in the USA, understanding the academic and cultural environments at the institutions you are looking to attend is key to ensuring an all-around positive experience. Finding a university or college that fits your needs beyond the sporting arena will only help you to reach your full potential. We know how important this step is so we've trawled through all the data from the National Centre for Education Statistics so you don't have to. Oh and it's completely free for you to use, you are welcome!
