„During my development as a junior player, Marcus Schneider contributed significantly to me making the right decision and looking for a sports scholarship at an American university.
Even though I always had the ambitions to become a tennis professional before, I was given the opportunity in college to continue to develop intensively in my sport and to be able to study at the same time.
The fact that I finally received a scholarship at the renowned UCLA University in 2019 is due to Marcus and his excellent guidance and contacts. At the end of my studies, I was number 1 in the UCLA tennis lineup and physically fitter than ever. In the meantime, I have completed my university degree and will first pursue my goal of being successful as a tennis professional on the ATP tour. Marcus is and always remains an important advisor to me.”
Through College Scout PLUS, I managed to get accepted into my favorite university. It’s exactly the combination I’ve always dreamed of.

During my recruiting process, I was able to take advantage of the valuable support of Marcus Schneider and his network. As a result, I finally managed to be accepted at my favorite university. It’s exactly the combination I’ve always dreamed of.”

„I like to remember the time when I met Marcus at international junior tournaments. To find out what is best for my future, Marcus invested a lot of energy and passion to help me.
Due to the politically difficult situation in my home country Egypt in 2012, Marcus first helped me to continue to develop as an international top player in the junior sector. His commitment was extraordinary. This allowed me to successfully pursue my daily practice and attend tournaments.
Even though I reached a good ranking position among the top 500 on the ATP tour as a 19-year-old, Marcus still convinced me to accept a sports scholarship in the USA. Finally I started to study at the sporty famous University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa until 2019 and became an ALL-STAR PLAYER there.”
(25 years) USA
„As a student at the University of California in Berkeley, I graduated in business in 2019. For four years, I was previously able to combine my passion for tennis there under the best conditions with my studies and a wonderful campus life.
In the run-up to my time in college, Marcus Schneider accompanied me at numerous junior tournaments in the USA and Europe, including the French Open in Paris. In addition, Marcus supported me in various practice periods in my further development. The communication with my family and him really worked out excellently, because it has always been my focus to tailor everything to the goal of a college scholarship.
The experiences with Marcus also helped me significantly to be able to successfully assert myself later in the tennis team at the University of Berkeley as a leading player and co-captain. I am now a financial analyst at Blue Water Life Science Advisors and live near San Francisco.”
Due to the helpful measures and methods from Marcus I was awarded a full scholarship at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.

„After my older brother Patrick began his studies at UCLA in 2019 and received a scholarship as a tennis player at the university in Los Angeles, it had also been the goal for me to be able to be in America under similar conditions. However, due to some health problems during my youth at home in Germany, it seemed almost impossible to me that this wish can be fulfilled. With the help of my family, I still believed in my chance to create the same as my brother.
Over the next year I managed my health, also improved my tennis and fitness enormously. Marcus Schneider supported me a lot as a constant advisor.
Also due to his helpful measures and methods, I was finally accepted with a full scholarship at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California. Since 2022, playing there with the tennis team in the Division I of the Western Conference. Just 20 minutes away – from my brother – this is of course an additional plus for me. In any case, I am now living my dream and I do not forget that Marcus has always encouraged me to take this step. I am very grateful to him for that.”

„Despite my talent as a young tennis player, I intended early on not to go on tour as a tennis professional after graduating from high school, but to play tennis at college with a full scholarship.
In the crucial application process, I managed to be recruited by the University of Arkansas with the support and guidance of Marcus. Since 2021, I have been happy in the Razorbacks tennis team in Fayetteville and enjoy every moment as a student and athlete of the university.”

„As number 4 in the age group of 17-year-olds in the German tennis junior ranking, I have calculated a good chance of receiving an athletic scholarship at an academically regarded university in the USA. For this purpose, I contacted Marcus Schneider at an early stage to get professional support for the recruitment process. The services of his agency College-Scout-PLUS and the excellent team of consultants immediately considered different universities with an ambitious tennis program. Among other things, visits to various Ivy League schools were organized, which allowed me to get a very personal impression on site and of the training opportunities before my actual decision. I got to know the tennis team and the respective coaches. In addition, ideas and mutual expectations could be exchanged.
Due to the extraordinary value of academic education, my family and I have pursued the goal of not only considering a complete scholarship. With regard to the right decision, Marcus Schneider and his team of consultants were finally able to provide me with a partial scholarship at the renowned University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA).
UCLA has repeatedly been voted the best public university in the USA. I will now start my studies there from autumn 2024 and be part of the tennis team. Until then I am already extremely excited and grateful to Marcus for his support.”
