General
World Sport & Academic Services (WSAS), established in 1993, specializes in international university and scholarship placement.
We guide students step-by-step through the entire journey — from initial assessment, career assessment and SAT preparation to university applications and scholarship marketing. Our mission is to strategically position each student to compete successfully in the international education space.
When a student meets all official requirements and benchmarks, we are confident in our preparation system and experience to secure at least one Full Scholarship award (covering tuition, room, and board).
This applies strictly to students who comply fully with the terms and conditions of the Program . We stand behind our structured system with confidence.
Students who:
• Fully register in the Program
• Activate their registration within the required timeframe
• Complete the entire WSAS process
• Meet the academic and SAT benchmark requirements
• Submit all required documentation
• Follow application procedures as guided
Placement is a structured and strategic process.
It typically takes up to two years to secure a student’s placement, which is why starting early is highly recommended.
However, placement can be completed in less than a year when the process is approached with urgency, commitment, and speed. Prompt SAT preparation, timely document submission, and disciplined follow-through significantly accelerate results .
WSAS works on a broad international basis to ensure students have access to a wide range of study opportunities and the best possible placement options.
We partner with institutions across multiple countries and provide placement recommendations based on a range of factors, including:
• Academic performance
• SAT results
• Athletic or artistic ability
• Scholarship eligibility
• Financial considerations
• Personal preferences
While we carefully research and recommend suitable institutions, placement and scholarship awards in specific regions, countries, or institutions cannot be guaranteed.
Our focus is always on securing the strongest overall opportunity available for each student.
