Scholarships to play rugby in USA

[Welshdragon2000]

I'm thinking about going to university in America (from Wales) and I would be interested in playing for a rugby side. Does anyone know whether I'd be able to get a scholarship just for playing for a college side? Advice on the whole matter would be appreciated. Has anyone on here done something similar before?

you won't get a full ride based on rugby skill alone

there are some schools that offer scholarships

kutztown, one of our best rugby schools, gives free tuition if you can score higher than 1250 on the american entrance exam (SAT)... which if you are able to do basic geometry shouldn't be a problem

another option would be to try to find a men's club to play for that would sponsor you to live in that area

Thanks bud. I would be doing rugby as a side to a course so would they be willing to offer anything if it was on the side?

yeah, there isn't really a school out there where you can just do rugby... everything is academics first
