Goodwill Refund
Game-Changer exists to make a difference, not a profit. If we can't generate interest that translates into an official scholarship offer we refund your program fees.
We call it Game Changer for good reason.
The scholarships we help secure really do ‘change the game’ by empowering talented young Aussies to use their athletic ability as the vehicle to largely fund their tertiary education and create a great foundation for the future. The average scholarship package we secured for our Fall 2020 athletes was $21,000 USD. This equates to an eye-watering $84,000 USD in funding over the fours years of their degree program!

We exist to make a difference...not a profit.
Game-Changer aims to create a level playing field for all athletes to use their athletic talent as the vehicle to further their education. Through the generosity of our like-minded program partners we are uniquely placed to help talented athletes get recruited on scholarship at a cost that is significantly lower than traditional ‘for profit’ athlete recruitment agencies.
Given that standard recruitment costs are often upwards of $15,000, the Game-Changer program can save families approx. $10,000 which they can put toward any out-of-pocket costs associated with heading over to the US. Check out our program calculator below to check out the costs for our two athlete development pathway programs.
