Scholarship Connect is a USA soccer scholarship consultancy with teams based in Durham, UK and Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
We specialise in helping student-athletes secure soccer scholarships at U.S. colleges and universities. We offer a highly personal, hands-on approach, excellent resources, and strong partnerships.
Founded on experience and built on relationships
Scholarship Connect began in 2003 when our founder, Andrew Muxworthy, met the late Shaun Pendleton, then Head Coach at Lynn University. Shaun’s mentorship introduced us to the world of collegiate soccer and inspired the mission we still follow today: to help talented student-athletes find their path to U.S. college scholarship success and life beyond.
What started as a voluntary service has grown into a trusted consultancy operating on both sides of the Atlantic.
What we do?
With expert teams based in Durham (UK) and Atlanta (USA), we have spent over two decades building strong relationships with college coaches and institutions across the U.S.A. Our work has taken us coast to coast. We have visited over 150 campuses - all to ensure we can personally guide each athlete on their unique journey.
Identify
We identify athletes with a talent in their chosen sport and match them with a college suited to them.
Support
Throughout an athletes journey we offer a significant amount of support. We go over and above for you!
Educate
We ensure athletes are fully aware of the commitment and journey they will experience.
At Scholarship Connect, we do things differently. We are not just a talent scouting agency. We offer a highly personal, hands-on service, working closely with every athlete to understand their goals, strengths, and potential. Our experienced team of coaches, scouts, and advisors ensures that each placement is about more than just sport — it is about shaping a future.
Our Team
We operate a small, niche team of highly knowledgeable professionals to deliver a next-level service to all of our student-athletes.
