Ayr United and FirstPointUSA Offer Opportunity for Soccer Scholarships

FirstPointUSA.com and Ayr United Football Academy are pleased to announce that they have agreed to extend their partnership which offers Academy players an opportunity to pursue college scholarships in the United States.

The relationship came about as a result of the Academy recognising that only a small percentage of its young players are likely to be offered a professional contract with Ayr United Football Club and from its desire to ensure that its players have an opportunity to continue to pursue their career in football.

The FirstpointUSA.com scholarship program offers an extremely attractive alternative career path that allows talented footballers the exclusive opportunity to pursue simultaneously their academic and sporting ambitions.

FirstPoint USA are the World’s Number 1 in American Sports Scholarships. Since 2001, they have placed over 3500 athletes on scholarship and brokered over $100 million in scholarship deals on their behalf.

Chief Executive and FirstPointUSA founder Andrew Kean, himself a former student athlete at the University of Cincinnati where he was recently inducted into the hall of fame is excited at the prospect of working with the AUFA,

“I very much look forward to working with some of the current crop of players at the Ayr United Academy and showing them that there is life after Academy football. In pursuing an American Scholarship some of these players will be continuing their football development in the USA, and furthering their prospects by earning a recognised degree.”
