USA Athletics / Track & Field Scholarships for UK Athletes — Complete Guide

By Ben Royal · Elite Player Performance

Track and field has undergone a major expansion in US college scholarship availability following the 2025 House v NCAA settlement. Scholarship limits were removed for Division I programs and replaced with roster limits — dramatically increasing the number of scholarships available, particularly for women's track and field.

Which Track and Field Events Have Best Scholarship Availability

Sprinters (100m, 200m, 400m) are highly recruited. US college programs actively seek international sprinters because the training pipeline produces athletes at volume. UK sprinters with verified EPP sprint data — specifically 10m, 30m and 40m times — give US coaches immediate context on acceleration and top speed capabilities.

Field events (jumps, throws) are also well-supported. UK throwers and jumpers are often underrepresented in US college recruiting because they don't know how to navigate the process — but the scholarship availability is significant.

EPP Sprint Testing for Athletics Scholarships

EPP tests athletics athletes at Alexander Stadium Birmingham — the Commonwealth Games 2022 venue — and at Wyndley Leisure Centre, Sutton Coldfield. Both venues provide the track environment that produces comparable split times to US college recruiting standards. Our Photon Sports timing gates produce data that US coaches recognise and trust.

For UK sprint athletes, an EPP report including 10m, 30m and 60m times, force-velocity profile and stride analysis is the single most effective tool to submit alongside an NCSA profile and highlight video.
