College and Scholarships
Fencing can help your child get into college
Fencing gives an extra advantage when applying to higher education and shows that student is well-rounded. Majority of the best universities in the US have fencing programs including most Ivy League schools. Colleges are looking for strong fencers who will contribute to their fencing teams. Fencing will help your child to be accepted to best schools or get scholarship from universities where athletic scholarships are available. Schools that offer athletic scholarships include Notre Dame, St. Johns, Penn State, Ohio State, Wayne State and Duke.
Many schools offer full and partial athletic scholarships. Scholarships are competitive and go to athletes who have shown excellent tournament results in high school. MFC coaches and staff will help you to plan ahead if you’re interested in working toward a scholarship. We educate parents and athletes on their college application process. We help connect our fencers to our extensive network of college students and alumni. We also maintain strong relationship with coaches of the nation’s top college fencing programs. It’s never too soon to start planning for college and we are happy to help guide you through the process.
