What is the first step in the Upper 90 College pathway?

The first step is Assessment & Division Fit — a detailed review of playing level, academic profile, graduation year and long-term development goals to identify realistic division targeting and scholarship positioning.

How does Upper 90 College identify the right US college programs?

We identify programs aligned with the athlete's playing level, academic standards, scholarship opportunity and long-term development. We focus on fit, not volume.

How does coach outreach work for Australian footballers?

We guide structured communication with targeted coaches — not bulk emails. This includes highlight positioning, profile presentation and building meaningful coach conversations.

What help is provided when a scholarship offer is made?

We assist families with evaluating scholarship structures, comparing programs, balancing academics and athletics, and long-term development considerations to make the best decision.

Does Upper 90 College guarantee a Division 1 placement?

No. We do not guarantee placements and do not promise Division 1. We provide strategic targeting, honest assessment, long-term development focus and structured guidance.
