Are You Eligible For a US College Rowing Scholarship?
If you're a parent of a student-athlete in Year 10, 11, or 12/13 with dreams of studying and competing as a rower in the USA, we're here to help. With differing sport standards and systems across regions, it can be hard to determine your college fit.
Receive a complimentary assessment from a Crimson Athletics Advisor.
We'll evaluate your child's athletic and academic profile against US college recruiting benchmarks and discuss their realistic pathway (D1, D2, D3, or development focus).
First, complete the form and we'll call you for a brief 5-10 minute conversation to help us understand your situation and confirm you're a fit for our program.
If suitable, we'll connect you directly with one of our sport-specific strategists - former D1 or Ivy League athletes and coaches who specialise in getting high school students recruited into top US colleges.
