For many talented athletes around the world, the dream of competing at a high level while earning a university degree can feel out of reach. Between navigating the U.S. college system, understanding eligibility rules, and getting noticed by coaches, the process can be overwhelming, especially for international students.
That’s where Olympic Sports Scholarships (OSS) comes in.
who are we?
Olympic Sports Scholarships is a global recruitment service dedicated to helping student-athletes secure sports scholarships at U.S. colleges and universities. We specialise in connecting talented athletes with the right academic and athletic opportunities, making the pathway to studying and competing in the United States clearer, smarter, and far more achievable.
With years of experience in collegiate recruitment, OSS acts as the bridge between athletes and U.S. coaches, guiding students every step of the way.
what sports do we support?
While we works across a wide range of Olympic and collegiate sports, we specialise in support track & field athletes, from long-distance runners, to hurdlers and other field events.
Our deep understanding of performance standards, divisions (NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA, NJCAA), and coach expectations allows us to match athletes with programmes that genuinely fit their ability, goals, and academic ambitions.
what do we actually do?
OSS offers a fully supported recruitment journey, including:
🎓 Scholarship Guidance
We help athletes understand the different types of scholarships available (from full to partial) and what is realistic based on sporting level, academics, and eligibility.
📩 Coach Outreach & Recruitment Strategy
Rather than leaving athletes to cold-email hundreds of coaches, we build a targeted recruitment strategy, contacting the right coaches at the right schools with professional athlete profiles.
📊 Academic & Eligibility Support
From NCAA eligibility and academic requirements to standardised testing and timelines, we ensure athletes stay on track and avoid costly mistakes.
🏫 University Matching
We focus on best fit, not just “any offer.” This means considering academic interests, campus culture, athletic level, location, and long-term career goals.
🌍 Support for International Athletes
For international students, the U.S. system can be confusing. We provide clarity on visas, eligibility rules, and the key differences between U.S. and international education systems.
why work with us?
What sets OSS apart is our athlete-first approach. We don’t make unrealistic promises or push athletes into unsuitable programmes. Instead, we focus on transparency, education, and long-term success.
