Stride USA Scholarships helps boys and girls pursue football (soccer) opportunities at American universities, combining competitive sport with the chance to earn a degree. The organization guides student athletes through the college recruitment and placement process, beginning with an honest assessment of their sporting level, academic record and goals. Each athlete receives one-to-one support from an advisor, including guidance on realistic programme options.

Stride USA develops recruitment profiles and highlight films, supported by verified data, and shares them with its network of US college coaches. Athletes can also gain exposure through showcase events, including the Las Vegas Mayor’s Cup, where they play before coaches and receive a recruitment report. The organization also offers an annual Easter tour in North Carolina, with training and matches at NCAA and NAIA venues.

When offers arrive, Stride USA helps athletes compare opportunities, negotiate value and manage eligibility, admissions and visa paperwork through enrolment. Its services are designed to support players from their first assessment through to a signed scholarship offer, with a focus on football and soccer pathways in the United States.
