Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about scholarships, cost, NCAA divisions, eligibility and how GSX helps international players reach U.S. colleges.
GSX is a college soccer recruiting advisory and preparation service for international players. We help with evaluation, highlight video, coach outreach and understanding offers from U.S. university programs (NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA); the family talks to the coach and decides. It was built by former student-athletes who made the journey themselves, and offers a family-first service in English and Spanish, plus Portuguese, Italian and German.
No. GSX is a college recruiting advisory service. We do not act as athlete agents or football agents: we do not negotiate or solicit professional, employment, endorsement or NIL contracts, we do not enter into agency contracts, and we do not represent players before colleges or clubs. We receive no payment from any college, club or agent. College coaches decide on roster spots and athletic aid; we cannot guarantee an offer or an amount. Our fee is fixed and does not depend on whether, where or how much aid a student-athlete receives. Eligibility decisions belong to the NCAA Eligibility Center, the NAIA, the NJCAA and each college. If a player wants to pursue a professional contract, we refer them to a FIFA-licensed football agent of their choice and receive nothing for that referral.
The path is: an honest athletic evaluation, a strong highlight video, academics & eligibility setup (NCAA Eligibility Center, English test), direct outreach to college coaches, understanding and comparing offers (the family talks to the coach and decides), then visa & enrollment. GSX guides you through each step.
Start early, build a strong highlight video, keep your academics and English in order, and contact coaches with an honest profile. GSX, built by ex student-athletes who did it, helps with evaluation, video, outreach and with understanding offers; you and your family always talk to the coach and decide.
The price depends on the plan (the level of support, the timeline and the goals), and we explain it openly on the free call with someone from the founding team. No hidden costs and no commitment. Once you join, the price is fixed and paid in three payments on fixed dates that never change because of any recruiting event, with the GSX Guarantee: 14 days to decide, an honest evaluation and a work guarantee (full terms in the contract). The best first step is to apply for a free evaluation: a free initial review of your application and a call.
We work across NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and NJCAA. In Division III the aid is academic, not athletic. The players GSX has guided so far committed to NCAA D1 and D2 programs, and two signed professionally. GSX does not work on professional contracts: If a player wants to pursue a professional contract, we refer them to a FIFA-licensed football agent of their choice and receive nothing for that referral.
Yes, depending on your plan. GSX guides you through NCAA eligibility, the Eligibility Center, English testing, academic fit, enrollment and the student visa process. Not just the athletic side. Visa help is practical guidance (timeline, documents, interview preparation): GSX does not provide legal immigration advice, and for legal questions we recommend an immigration attorney.
Players from anywhere in the world. Every family works with the founding team in English or Spanish. Families who prefer Portuguese, Italian or German work with a team member who speaks their language, under the founding team's supervision.
8 players guided to commitments and contracts: 4 NCAA D1, 2 NCAA D2 and 2 professional, backed by a 200+ university network. Five of the NCAA commitments can be checked on the university's own roster: Xavier (Yves Vaage), Liberty (Javan Ochieng), Wright State (Ben Schultheis), Mercyhurst (Ryan Tappouras), Tiffin (Dunia Kambona); the sixth is Mohammad Maahiruzzaman at Emory & Henry (NCAA D2). See them all on the Signings page.
It depends on the player, the school and the division, and we never promise an amount. As a reference from the players we have guided: our NCAA Division I players received scholarships of 80 to 100 %. In Division II, awards have been around $6,000 a year, depending on the case; at Tiffin University, for example, that is about 17 % of tuition ($35,700 in 2026-27). Academic aid can be added on top, depending on grades. Our fee never depends on the scholarship (NCAA Bylaw 12.3.3).
The GSX Guarantee protects you from the start: 14 days to change your mind with a full refund of the first payment; an honest evaluation: if within 30 days there are no real options in the divisions you accept, we cancel and refund the first payment; and a work guarantee: profile and video within 30 days and a report every 2 weeks. What we never do is charge or refund depending on an offer, a scholarship or a university: NCAA rules (Bylaw 12.3.3) do not allow a recruiting service's fee to be based on placing a player, so a "no offer, no pay" promise can put a player's eligibility at risk.
We are in direct contact with the coaching staff of college programs across NCAA Division I, Division II, the NAIA and junior college: from Duke, Pittsburgh, Liberty and Elon in Division I to Barry, Rollins and Midwestern State in Division II and Grand View and Indiana Tech in the NAIA. See a selection on the Signings page. Contact never means a guaranteed spot: the coach always decides, based on level, grades and fit.
Built by ex student-athletes who lived the path. Every case is led or supervised by someone from the founding team (some cases are run by trained GSX collaborators under that supervision, and we tell you your case lead before you sign). Five languages, a fixed fee that never depends on the scholarship, and real, verified NCAA and professional results.
