"After a chance meeting at the Australian Rowing Championships in 2024 our son decided to make some enquiries around the possibility of continuing his rowing career as part of a scholarship in the USA. Study & Play USA was absolutely instrumental in securing our son's placement and scholarship with Drexel University's Men's Rowing program. Their expertise, dedication, and personalised guidance made the entire process seamless and as stress-free as possible. From navigating the complexities of university applications and US Visas, to securing a great scholarship, their team provided unparalleled support every step of the way. Their deep knowledge of the U.S. collegiate system and commitment to finding the perfect fit for our son’s athletic and academic goals were truly remarkable. I cannot recommend Study & Play USA highly enough to any parent or student looking to pursue opportunities in the U.S. Their professionalism and genuine care made all the difference! Thanks especially to Chris, Alexia and Jarrod, plus the rest of the team at Study & Play USA"

"We are very happy to recommend Study and Play USA to other families embarking on the journey of getting a US college athletic scholarship. What we appreciated was having a single 'agent' - point of contact to guide us. (Thank you Leah, and now Chris and Alexia). Having the opportunity to meet the team in person was great. The ongoing support and check-ins that kept us on track with deadlines really did make what would of been a daunting process - very achievable. What sets Study & Play USA apart is their professionalism, their outstanding communication and their ongoing commitment to ensuring the athlete is supported throughout their college experience"

"I highly recommend Study and Play USA! I am currently in my freshman year at Drury University having worked with Study and Play for over 3 years. I always knew college in the US is where I wanted to be, and S&P USA showed me how to get here. I didn’t end up going to a particularly well-known college, yet I have found my perfect school. I am having student athlete experience like you see in the movies and I’m absolutely loving it. Study and Play were fundamental in my college journey. Without them I would not have found Drury and the whole process would have been so much more stressful. Stress I did not need in my final years of high school. Throughout the process they were always there for me, and it really felt that they truly cared about my dream. I cannot thank everyone at Study & Play enough for helping me along this incredible journey. This experience is 100% worth it!"
