The goal of Awex Education is to ensure that athletes from around the world can access an educational institution in the United States or Canada with an athletic and/or academic scholarship. For this reason, we search for the best schools for each athlete, as well as the highest possible athletic and/or academic scholarship.

Here we explain the process of obtaining an athletic scholarship at an American educational institution. This first stage is where the athlete must work to achieve the best athletic and academic results:

• Achieve the highest possible athletic level: The higher the athlete’s level, the greater their chances of earning an athletic scholarship in the United States or Canada. Additionally, they will have more options to choose from. It’s important to plan track and field training and competition schedules to achieve the best possible marks.

• Achieve the highest possible academic level: It’s essential to focus on academics to reach the best possible academic level. This will open up more opportunities, including academic scholarships that can reduce annual costs. Proper preparation for the TOEFL and SAT exams is fundamental.

The second part of the process is handled by Awex Education. It is very important to contact Awex Education well in advance and begin preparing early. This way, we increase the chances of obtaining a sports scholarship in the United States or Canada, providing more available options to choose from. We recommend starting the process 1 to 2 years before the intended start date in the U.S. or Canada.

We analyze each case individually, assessing the athlete’s athletic level, academic level, and family expectations to determine their chances of obtaining a track and field scholarship in the United States. At Awex Education, we conduct this FREE evaluation with no obligation, meeting with the athlete and their family to explain the real possibilities. Once the family decides to begin the process, we take care of the following steps:

• We study each athlete’s individual case — athletic level, academic level, and preferences regarding the school — and look for the best options that match the family’s goals and profile (athletic, academic, and financial).

• We create a personal tracking sheet for each athlete, outlining the steps to follow, exam dates, preparation plans (depending on league focus), and short-, medium-, and long-term goals.

• We offer support for SAT and TOEFL exam registration.

• We provide guidance for creating the athletic video, including advice on how to make an effective one — since coaches rely heavily on it for recruiting. We handle the final editing of the athlete’s video.

• Once the final video is ready, we create an academic and athletic profile for the athlete to send to college coaches.

• We begin contacting schools that match the athlete’s and family’s preferences. We collaborate with most educational institutions in the U.S. and Canada, across all states, depending on the athlete’s profile.

• We negotiate with each coach or school to obtain the best possible scholarship and conditions for each athlete.

• We present a detailed report with multiple options to allow time for decision-making. The report includes: school name, location, size, academic level, athletic level, price without scholarship, scholarship amount, and annual cost.

• We provide several options within the set budget, ensuring families can choose among multiple alternatives.

• We advise and guide the athlete and family in the final selection of the school, though the final decision always rests with the family.

• We manage the signing of the final offer from the chosen educational institution.

• We handle the academic league admission process (NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA).

• We complete the admissions process with the selected school (sending grades, exam results, admissions paperwork, etc.).

• We organize meal and housing plans for the athlete.

• We assist with obtaining medical insurance in the U.S. or Canada.

• We manage the student visa process for both countries.

• We arrange flights and arrival logistics so that someone greets the athlete upon arrival.

• We provide arrival support and guidance, answering questions related to money transfers, bank cards, or first-day logistics in the U.S. or Canada.

• We assist with on-campus job opportunities.

• We offer support throughout the athlete’s entire stay in the U.S. or Canada for anything they might need — school changes, questions, paperwork — all at no extra cost.

• When students reach their third or fourth year of university, we offer interested students a specialized course at a British university that helps prepare them for the professional world and assists in finding job opportunities.

Beyond all this, a key factor that sets our service apart is our personal approach. We maintain constant communication with our athletes and their families via WhatsApp or phone calls, and in case of emergencies, we can be contacted at any time, even outside office hours.
