AGM has helped more than 1,000 students from 39 different countries to study, practice and compete successfully in the USA, working directly with more than 2,000 American universities with athletic teams.


In order to cover the high yearly cost of an American university that can vary between 25,000 and 60,000 USD, AGM Sports helps you in finding a partial and full scholarships. The average scholarships that AGM finds for the students is worth 21,000 USD per year, for an average of 4 years (over $80,000 in scholarships per student, plus all the athletic costs of practice, trips to competition and other expenses). It's also possible for high-level athletes in determined sports to receive scholarships covering 100% of the cost of the American university, in fact 30% of AGM’s clients are studying in the United States with all expenses covered. Student-athletes of lower level can get partial scholarships, but also have the opportunity to receive international or academic scholarships.

The AGM Foundation helps these student-athletes with professional opportunities once they finish their college studies. Some of these students have recently been hired by companies like Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Nike, Adidas, Accenture, KPMG, PWC, Banco Santander, Oracle and others, thanks to their background as athletes, their education in the United States, and their international experience living abroad.
