Four-year full scholarships to D1 programs can exceed $250,000 of value, which includes tuition, housing, food, and more. With recent changes in the American College system, some athletes can even be paid through endorsements/sponsorships, on top of receiving a scholarship.
Remember, your financial investment in yourself will be a fraction of what you could receive from the scholarship in the form of graduating with a degree/master's, the life-changing experience of studying in America alongside playing college football in massive stadium's across the country, including access to phenomenal sporting resources not available in Ireland, and other opportunities that will stem from playing college football (maybe you progress to NFL after college or at least you'll graduate with a degree and a network for the next stage of life)
This will be a serious commitment that will require steely focus, determination, courage, and patience .For those deemed talented enough, the rewards are life-changing!
