Common Questions
What families ask us most.
How does the F-1 student visa process work?
The F-1 is the standard student visa for international athletes studying in the U.S. Once your athlete is accepted, we guide the family through each step — documentation, SEVIS registration, school enrollment forms and interview preparation — with ongoing immigration compliance support throughout the program.
Where will my athlete live and what will they eat?
GSU offers supervised residences near school and training facilities, plus optional placement with trained, background-checked host families. Meals follow nutritionist-designed plans — three meals a day with options for dietary preferences and cultural foods.
How do you keep parents informed from abroad?
Every family gets a direct communication channel by WhatsApp and email, plus regular academic and athletic progress reports — and a 24/7 emergency line. You will always know how your athlete is doing.
What about academics and language?
Athletes are enrolled as full-time students. Our academic development program adds personalized tutoring, English immersion for international students and continuous GPA tracking for college eligibility.
How much does the program cost?
The all-inclusive Elite International Package starts at $45,000 USD per academic year (2026–2027) — boarding, meals, training, academics, NIL, visa support and recreation. Pricing is subject to conditions, selected services and availability. Other packages are customized: see the Packages page or contact us for a quote.
