The MAE team was present to inform all those present about the possibility of pursuing university studies in the United States. We like to take advantage of these types of events to let more people know about the opportunities offered to athletes like these.

Currently, only women’s field hockey is eligible for an athletic scholarship, as men’s field hockey is not included in the NCAA college leagues. Even so, at MAE we work with other types of scholarships and agreements that may be of interest to those seeking to study in the USA.
