USA Sporting Scholarship Pathways
Last week, the College hosted a presentation from Study & Play USA for interested families. The feedback indicated that attendees found the session valuable, so we plan to offer more opportunities in the future. Study & Play USA is dedicated to helping Australian high school students explore sporting and academic scholarship options for furthering their education at colleges in the United States. At Marist College Ashgrove, our goal is to provide families with the necessary information to navigate these decisions effectively. We look forward to welcoming Chris and Alexia from Study & Play USA back to the College in the future. Furthermore, we are committed to supporting students in pursuing college opportunities in the USA through various avenues. For more information, visit: https://studyandplayusa.com.au/
