DELUXE EDUCATION College Football – SeC ChampionShip Win a scholarship to study in a country with the world’s leading universities Monaco Sports makes the dream of studying in the country of unlimited opportunities a reality by providing access to athletic scholarships in the USA that will give you the best pathway to an international professional career. W hat do the famous for- mer German footbal- lers Jürgen Klinsmann and Jens Lehmann have in common? A great career, to be sure. But Munich sports marketing agency Monaco Sports would come up with a different answer: both fathers have sent their sons to elite universities in America on football scholarships. This allows them to combine studying in an international setting with playing competitive sport in a pro- fessional environment. Jonathan Klinsmann is the goalkeeper for the soccer team at the University of California in Berkeley. Lasse Lehmann plays for the Eagles at Boston College. Even though they are both able to follow their passion for sports at the moment, we are unlikely to see them playing in major stadiums in the future. We can however be sure that in a few years’ time both Jonathan and Lasse will occupy management roles in international companies. Athletic scholarship 52 DELUXE services agency Monaco Sports is helping them, and many other young men and women between the ages of 16 and 20, to make the most of their opportunities. In the USA, talen- ted sportsmen and women can be supported by lucrative scholarships. The team at Monaco Sports acts as a conduit between the numerous American universities and the international applicants. The application process for a scholarship in the USA usually takes a year, during which time the experts at Monaco Sports support the applicant and their family with professional advice, tips and all the right contacts. Vincent Keller, a Monaco Sports footballer at Creighton University and the son of SC Freiburg president and internationally renowned vintner Fritz Keller, was recently recommended for the American professional MLS league during his time at college. Vincent studied international management on a foot- ball scholarship that saved his family costs of around 50,000 dollars annually. Despite the prospect of becoming a professional foot- baller, Vincent has decided to follow a busi- ness career. Sporting legends such as Michael Jordan (University of North Carolina) and Tiger Woods (Stanford University) are of course absolute exceptions to this, but they too are products of the US sports scholarship system. The parents of children who are not in- volved in competitive sport can also look to scholarships for their offspring. In addition to pure sports scholarships, international students can also apply for academic scholarships. Whether you are looking for a sports or an academic scholarship at one of the world’s leading universities or a High School place in the USA, Monaco Sports is your best point of contact. by norman meSSina pleaSe ContaCt monaCo SportS – new horizon SeidlStr. 8 | 80335 muniCh | germany tel. +49 89 21 76 69 43 [email protected] | monaCo-SportS.Com
