Athletic Scholarship

In 1997 International Doorway hosted the first annual International Athletic Showcase and since that time we have helped thousands of international athletes find their university in the USA. The Showcase features international student athletes from over 40 countries and coaches representing universities from all across the United States meeting annually for the largest international athletic student recruitment event in the USA.

International Doorway's Showcase is a networking and multicultural learning opportunity; you will make friendships that last a lifetime while experiencing unforgettable sports competitions, academic, cultural and recreational activities. The added bonus is that our participants also get a true American cultural experience by living daily life on a university campus.
