An exceptional life experience

The U.S. adventure is first and foremost an extraordinary life experience, lived on a university campus in total immersion, for 4 (Bachelor's) or 5 years (Master's). It is also the integration of a university tennis team in which the training level can in some cases be close to the professionals’, and the possibility of financing part or all of the studies' tuition fees through tennis. Refer to (table Equivalence Ranking / Scholarships).
The high-profile enthusiasts will have the unique opportunity to participate in university championships and professional tournaments (ATP/WTA), while following a high quality student curriculum.
