How does a UK student become a student-athlete in the US?

Answer 1

Well, there's a few ways to become a Student athlete at a U.S. or Canadian University.

You are either scouted and provided a athletic scholarship, this can also be accomplished by providing a video of yourself playing your sport to the universities and hoping that they offer you a scholarship, or trial, based upon that video. The other manner is by you submitting your grades to the university of your choice and then try out for your chosen sport once there and hope you are selected as a "walk on". This would require you to pay your own tuition though.
