Who these scholarships are for
Players planning to start university in 2027 with a UTR between 9 and 12. It is a realistic target for strong junior and adult competitors — you don’t need to be a top-ranked national player. If your UTR is just outside that range, talk to TNA: other US programmes may suit you better.
What you will need
- A current UTR rating between 9 and 12
- Match video and your recent competitive results
- Secondary-school transcripts, plus an English test for international players — most U.S. colleges ask non-native English speakers for one, and each college sets which tests it accepts (Source: Prepare For U.S. Standardized Tests, Undergraduate - EducationUSA) — see our guide for international students
- Academic eligibility paperwork and, for international players, a student visa: once admitted, the university issues your Form I-20 for the F-1 student visa (Source: Students and the Form I-20 - Study in the States (DHS/SEVP)), and you pay the I-901 SEVIS fee before the visa is issued (Source: Paying the I-901 SEVIS Fee - Study in the States (DHS/SEVP)). TNA guides you through both
