Best collages for international students schoolarships as a 15min 5k, 8.34min 3k

None. You are 19 and slower than 17 year old seniors who are merely looking for roster spots. Colleges in Europe are much cheaper. Plan to spend more than $200,000 for a degree in the US.

As a Spaniard, you should know that Pablo Picasso's collages are among the best in the world.

You can run d3 in the US, but unless you get an academic scholarship it will cost a lot more than it would to study in Europe.

Is there a particular period you are a fan of?

you probably wouldn't make a good or average d1 at all. you might make or even be competitive at the worst d1s like swac but the schools are low prestige and i am skeptical they give even their best distance runners full rides. or much of anything. you wouldn't even been good at the top end of d3. your level is more like mid d3 or a really crappy d1 or d2, and the d3s have no scholarships, and the d1s and d2s that have space for you probably have room because they can't offer anything.

yeah, this is like a foreign runner cliche. we are signing kenyans to fulls. not guys who bluntly wouldn't win my old d3 conference. i am sure you'd find someplace, maybe a d1 or d2 as a squadie. or most d3s past NESCAC or UAA. but pay you for it? nah.

i repeat myself, i don't think you will find what you seek.

but just as generic recruiting advice, go on tfrrs. go down the conference performance lists for every conference in every division. find conferences where your times "make sense." focus on conferences where you can immediately compete. at which point my counter-intuitive advice, for someone looking to make a team and maybe get athletic money, is shop yourself to the teams in the conference WHO DON'T HAVE GOOD RUNNERS IN THOSE EVENTS.

example, at least last year, ivy league girl's mile, the cliche is go chase harvard yale princeton, top schools, fastest milers in the conference. but if you are marginal, they have top kids, they don't need you. you know who needs you? brown has no one in the top 20 milers in conference, and their best start at 27-28th on the list with times in the 450s. now, if you are amazing, you write your own ticket.

and i know the ivies don't have scholarships. my point is unless you are a blue chip recruit, don't chase clout or the obvious. chase the schools where you would make immediate impact. zig while everyone else zags.

and if you need quality control, only look up good engineering schools. if you stick to that principle, you will then be left at the end with good engineering schools receptive to your athletic abilities.

but i would expect to pay.

Your chances aren’t as awful as everyone is pretending, but it will take some work. If you have good academics, there are plenty of schools that would be able to pull together some combination of academic/need/athletic scholarship/work study to cover everything.

You are probably targeting being a 5-7th guy in cross country at mid d2 schools, so you’ll need to find a school where you’re a good fit, or a coach who thinks you have potential. Also, check out NAIA schools.

He is 19 with an 8:34 3k. Please tell us the name if the school so that we can all transfer there from out D3 schools where we are paying $60K per year. I ran 9:13 senior year in high school and D3 was my best option. I have made minir improvent to 8:28. I would love to transfer somewhere that would give me a bunch of aid.

You are not getting much help here.

With new roster limits for 25/26 school year, it is now much more competitive for an International to get any athletic scholarship money.

I don't know how smart you are, or what your family financial situation is, but some of the top engineering schools like MIT, Stanford, all of Ivy League and well known small schools Amherst, Williams and Swarthmore offer very generous financial aid even to International students if your family annual income is less than $125000.

For all but Stanford you are good enough to run on the team. So if you earn mostly A's, and can produce an SAT between 1450 and 1600, you might have a shot to get on a team for your academics.

You can just contact coaches, or a school's admission department via email. The email is usually right on the school website.

There is a tiny chance some terrible D1 or D2 might be interested in your running now, but highly unlikely. Almost 100%, there would be no Athletic scholarship for you. You could wait one more year, and see if you keep improving.

There are a handful of D2 state schools in MN that would be under $25k with no scholarships. Concordia St. Paul, Michigan Tech… There are hundreds of D2 schools in the US. I have no idea what each would offer individual applicants, but I know a ~14:40s kid got some money from Concordia coming in as a Junior. Another got money from Michigan Tech as a ~9:30s steeple guy, but that was a few years ago. I know other people with similar or worse times who got help from ND/SD state schools.

Nobody can definitely break down this definitively for another person, him and apparently you need to do some leg work. I’m aware of a small portion of Midwest schools based on experiences from slower HS kids (high 15s/low 16s in cross country). Iowa community colleges are also a great jumping off point for people looking to get in internationally and move to bigger schools. I know a few that got full NAIA scholarships from there.

Lots of options available, but he has to spend the 10s/100s of hours doing the work. I’m not doing it for some random kid. I’m sorry your high school coach wasn’t able didn’t care to help you.

He's from Spain and did not have a high school coach.

Europeans coming to US are usually very good, or have someone helping them thru the process.

Sports in Europe go thru clubs, not the school system.

Yeah, that’s why I said he’s going to need to do a lot of work. There are a ton of opportunities out there and if I was coaching the kid I’d be able to get him college covered between aid/scholarship and work study (assuming they weren’t wealthy). Unfortunately, he’s going to have to do it himself, so it will be a lot of work.

Well you would definitely score for say the bottom 4 teams at big sky. Whether any of their distance runners get aid I have no idea
