Our History & Mission

AUS Recruit was independently formed in Australia in 2009 to help young Australian athletes follow the path of gaining an athletic scholarship in the USA.

Prior to the 2009 formation of AUS Recruit in Australia, its American based predecessors had successfully placed over 600 athletes worldwide into American Sports Scholarships.

This success was the inspiration to offer the same opportunity to Australian athletes and to adopt this same concept to form the Australian based AUS Recruit.

Since the 2009 formation of AUS Recruit we have secured over 200 scholarships for young Australian Athletes with a total value now surpassing $24 million dollars in educational funding by US Universities and Colleges.

AUS Recruit has assisted young athletes from Countries such as New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore, UK and Canada in securing their dream, thus making us one of the most successful Recruiting agencies.

• American football
