Why the United States and Canada?
El sistema educativo americano es el único sistema educativo que permite compaginar el deporte de competición con los estudios universitarios. Además, gracias a la beca de bowling, los deportistas pueden cubrir un porcentaje de los gastos académicos. Incluso muchas veces existen posibilidades de sumar becas académicas que también reduzcan los costes totales.
Los centros ofrecen becas de bowling en Estados Unidos y Canadá para sus integrantes del equipo, lo que permite a los deportistas financiarse sus estudios gracias al bowling.
Gracias a esta oportunidad, los deportistas pueden vivir una experiencia que aporta muchas ventajas frente al sistema español: compaginar estudios y deporte, realizar viajes totalmente gratis por todo Estados Unidos y Canadá con el equipo, obtener un título académico de un centro en Estados Unidos y Canadá, aprender un inglés perfecto, conocer gente de muchos países diferentes y vivir experiencias inolvidables.
Por todo esto, a los deportistas se les abre un mundo de posibilidades gracias al bowling.
Bowling scholarships in the United States and Canada
Cada liga deportiva tiene unos máximos de becas de bowling a repartir; dentro de esos máximos, el centro otorga el dinero en becas que crea oportuno.
Los entrenadores de los centros educativos reparten el dinero en becas de bowling completas y parciales a los deportistas del equipo. Normalmente, se debe estar entre los mejores del equipo para recibir una beca de bowling.
También existen otras oportunidades que se llaman walk-on: estas permiten a los jugadores formar parte del equipo, pero sin recibir beca de bowling en Estados Unidos y Canadá. Tras un año en esta posición, dependiendo del rendimiento del jugador, puede ganarse una beca de bowling para los años siguientes.
Scholarship limit per team
El número de becas de bowling disponibles en cada centro educativo varía entre centros. Cada liga deportiva tiene un máximo de becas de bowling que pueden ofrecer, pero pueden ofrecer menos becas que ese límite si es su decisión.
Un ejemplo claro son las universidades de la IVY League (liga de universidades de prestigio académico como Harvard) que no ofrecen becas deportivas.
Además, los bolos es un deporte en el que los entrenadores pueden dividir el número de becas de bowling entre los miembros del equipo.
*Las universidades que compiten en NCAA División 3 son universidades que no pueden ofrecer becas deportivas, por lo que no ofrecen becas de bowling, pero se pueden obtener otro tipo de ayudas o becas académicas importantes.
How does the process of obtaining bowling scholarships in the United States and Canada work?
Aquí tienes la traducción al inglés manteniendo todas las negritas:
The objective of Awex Education is to facilitate the process for bowling players to gain access to an educational institution in the United States and Canada with a bowling and/or academic scholarship. Therefore, we look for the best institutions for each player, as well as the maximum sports and/or academic scholarship.
Here we explain how the process of obtaining a bowling scholarship at an American educational institution works. In this first stage, the athlete must work on achieving their maximum performance and academic and sports results:
Achieve the highest possible sports level: The higher the sports level, the greater the chances of obtaining a scholarship. In addition, the athlete will have a wider range of options to choose from. It is important to work on having the best video material with sufficient time in many matches to have the best possible highlights.
Achieve the highest possible academic level: It is very important to focus on studies to reach the maximum academic level. This way we will have more available options, and it is even possible to obtain academic scholarships to reduce the annual cost. Proper preparation for TOEFL and SAT exams is fundamental.
For the second part of the process, we take care of it at Awex Education. It is very important to contact Awex Education well in advance and start preparing the process early. This increases the chances of obtaining a sports scholarship in the United States and gives more options to choose from. We recommend starting the process 1 to 2 years in advance of the start date in the United States and Canada.
Our process begins with a free personalized analysis of the athlete and their chances of a sports scholarship in the United States and Canada, based on the athlete’s bowling level, academic performance, and the expectations of the athlete and their family. At Awex Education, we conduct this free evaluation with no commitment and communicate with the athlete and family to explain the real possibilities. Once the family decides to start the process, we handle the following steps:
We study the individual case of each athlete, sports level, academic level, and preferences regarding an educational institution. We search for the options that best match your preferences and sports, academic, and economic profile. We talk to the family and study what they are looking for to offer the best options that meet the family’s requirements.
We create a personal tracking sheet for each athlete. In this tracking sheet, we plan with the family the steps to follow, exam dates, exam preparations (depending on the league focus), as well as short, medium, and long-term goals of the process.
We provide support for SAT and TOEFL exam registrations.
We provide support in creating the sports video with tips and guidance to produce a good video. The video is very important because coaches will recruit players based on it. We handle the final editing of the athlete’s video.
With the final video in hand, we create an academic and sports profile of the athlete to contact bowling coaches.
We start contacting institutions that match the athlete’s profile and family preferences. We work with the majority of educational institutions in the United States and Canada, in all states that correspond to the athlete’s profile.
We negotiate with each coach or institution to obtain the maximum scholarship and best possible conditions.
We present a report with several options in time to make a decision. The report includes information such as: institution name, location, size, academic level, bowling level, price without scholarship, scholarship amount, annual cost.
We offer several options within the budget. We always provide multiple alternatives so that families can choose among them.
We assist the athlete and their family in the selection of the institution, advise and guide them, but the final decision rests with the family.
We process the signature of the final offer from the educational institution the athlete wishes to commit to.
We handle the admission procedure of the academic leagues in which the school competes (NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA).
We carry out the admission process with the chosen institution (sending grades, sending SAT and TOEFL exams, admission paperwork, etc.).
We prepare the meal and housing plans for the athlete.
We handle the medical insurance in the United States and Canada.
We handle the student visa process for the United States and Canada for each athlete.
We organize flights and the arrival of the athlete so that someone is there to welcome them.
We assist with the arrival at the institution with advice and support with questions (sending money, bank cards, questions upon the first arrival in the United States and Canada).
We assist in obtaining academic jobs within the institution.
We provide support throughout the athlete’s stay in the United States and Canada for anything needed, school changes, questions or doubts, or necessary paperwork. All at NO extra cost.
When students are in 3rd or 4th year of university, we offer an English university course to prepare them for the workforce and help them secure job offers.
In addition to all this, a very important factor that sets our service apart is the close relationship; we are in continuous contact with our athletes and families. We communicate via WhatsApp or calls, and in case of urgency, we can be contacted at any time outside office hours.
Academic requirements
Another important aspect to secure a good educational institution is the academic side: high school grades, SAT, and TOEFL scores… If two students have a very similar sports level, but there are significant differences in academic performance, the coach will usually offer the soccer scholarship to the better student.
This is because students must meet certain minimum requirements, so the academic side is as important as soccer in several aspects:
Sports acceptance: Students must meet minimum grades in exams to be accepted into sports leagues.
To be accepted into the institutions, the soccer player must meet the academic requirements in SAT and TOEFL exams.
It is even possible to obtain an academic scholarship, which can be added to the sports scholarship, resulting in a larger total scholarship. To obtain academic scholarships, students must have good grades and strong results in SAT and TOEFL exams.
Therefore, the higher the grades, the wider the range of options the soccer player will have, and the higher the scholarship amount offered by the institution.
Each institution or coach has different minimum academic requirements. For this reason, at Awex Education, we carefully evaluate each academic and sports profile to find the institution that best fits each athlete.
What level of bowling is required?
In the United States and Canada, there are more than one thousand educational institutions with bowling teams that are part of the different leagues. Within this wide range of institutions, the level of bowling is also very diverse.
Bowling programs distribute a higher number of scholarships to women than to men, so the chances of obtaining bowling scholarships are higher for women than for men. Scholarships are awarded based on the athlete’s sports and academic level.
Coaches will be in contact with athletes one or even two years before starting at the institution. However, final decisions are made based on performances from one year before starting in the United States and Canada, when the athlete is in their final year of high school.
Although all athletes specialize in a specific event, coaches look for versatile athletes who can compete in multiple events within their discipline.
Within the middle- and long-distance sector, opportunities can be even greater, as these athletes can compete in both cross-country and track events. Therefore, coaches may have more interest in these athletes and offer them higher scholarships.
