Get evaluated.

You get an email back with a clear read: which US divisions are realistic for your level, and what the sensible next steps are. If the answer is not yet, we say that too, and we say what would change it. Sending the form commits you to nothing - it is how the conversation starts, not a registration.

The first evaluation costs you nothing. Beyond that, Athletes USA is paid a placement fee, and what that looks like in your case comes from a conversation with you rather than from a price list on a website - before anyone has seen your level, a number would only be a guess. If the evaluation says a scholarship is not realistic for you right now, we tell you that, and you have spent nothing to find out.

Not automatically - but this is the part where old advice has stopped being reliable, because the rule itself changed in 2026. NCAA Divisions I and II now run a five-year eligibility period that starts at the earlier of two events: the first time you enroll full time at any college or university, or the start of the academic year following your 19th birthday. It is a rule about when your clock starts, not a cut-off age. The NCAA Eligibility Center certifies each athlete's period individually for anyone first enrolling from fall 2026, and for 2026-27 schools apply whichever of the old and new models works out better for that athlete. The NAIA and the junior colleges legislate separately. Because a general answer is worth very little here, send us your date of birth and your study history and we will work your case through rather than guess at it.

At this stage, to an evaluation and nothing beyond it. Your child sends the form, we reply by email with a read on which divisions are realistic, and you decide together whether there is a reason to keep going. Parents stay part of this the whole way through: a decision that involves money, distance and four years abroad is a family decision, and we would rather have you in the conversation from the first call than brought in at the signature.
