Build Your Future through College Sports Scholarships
Remember Lucas and Nathan Scott in the hit TV series One Tree Hill? Both brothers are really good in basketball and they make every point in their playing statistics score their way to a basketball scholarship in college. If you want to get into college sports scholarships, you better work your way to the top by delivering your best.
Many people think that students who get sports scholarships are those who belong to a renowned family or those who have been in the limelight at an early age. In reality, anyone who is capable of a certain type of game can apply for a scholarship. The important factor here is application – you must pay attention to the particulars of submitting necessary papers and joining try-outs.
For example, in college basketball recruiting, universities look for promising athletes yearly to replace their graduating students. If your dream is to get into a Los Angeles-based team, you must let the schools and coaches know you exist. Submit your application forms, get good if not excellent grades in high school, and be aggressive. Make a positive mark out there and grab any playing opportunity that comes your way.
It’s important that you value your application to college sports scholarships because the chance will give you a free or partial payment for your education. At the same time, you get to represent your school. When you excel in your sports and in your studies, your name will soon be known as an internationally-acclaimed athlete.
There is absolutely no easy way to get a scholarship than to work hard on it. Remember, it pays off to have a college sport and an expense-paid education.

University Language Services is currently hosting a college scholarship for international and study abroad students. You must be a senior in high school or already in college. It is a photo contest that allows you to win one of four prizes. Check it out and good luck!

Senior High School where? This information is necessary in assessing what may be available for you.
You would definitely need to take the TOEFL no matter what if you are a foreign student unless it is determined that you live in an English speaking country and that you have been brought up speaking English. Of course though, this all depends on the college. The TOEFL is an exam which determines your level of competence in English. Just by reading your question, I would guess that you are pretty proficient in English and I think you would not have any trouble with the TOEFL. As for the SATs, there are schools that do not require them, like Bowdoin College and Bates College in Maine where it is optional and there are other ones as well. To apply for a scholarship, you usually have to apply to a college first.
You have good grades and are good at soccer, so I would say you have a lot going for you and yes you could get a scholarship even if you are from another country.
There area a lot of scholarships for specific situations. i do not know if it applys to you but i got my list from;

Hola Pete tu puedes!!! I found interesting information about your answer, college loans,SCHOLARSHIPS, college grants here.http://all-student-loan-consolidation.blogspot.com/2007/07/scholarships.html
Talk to your guidance counselor. I'm sure they can help.
Most private schools do not give International students financial aid, in fact, they need proof up front that your bills will be paid for if you are attending boarding school and require payment quicker than they do with local students. The only reason a lot of schools will go through the hassle of admitting foreign students (paperwork, visa, etc) is because they typically can pay full tuition and will donate generously.
In this economy, need-blind admissions aren't as they were, and they were very rare to begin with. First, current school families who are having financial difficulties will be looked at for financial aid, and they may be able to qualify easier than a new student. This is fair, they've already paid into the school.
Because there are a limited amount of funds, even schools that state they are need-blind aren't really. There will be many more qualified applicants at the top schools than there are spaces, so not every qualified applicant will be offered a space or financial aid, or the financial aid they offer will be very low. Need blind doesn't mean full financial aid. Even at Phillips Academy it is not as need-blind as they seem to make it out to be, and I believe that is the only need-blind boarding school now.

Good luck!
You have to go to the website of international student of the university you want to go. They might have information about it or you can always email them. I know that a couple of universities in Oregon have a cultural program that allows international students to go to school for cheaper.
try looking here, http://www.cappex.com/?code=JA9554.
Here is a good website about coming to the US to go to school. There is a good section about financial aid…
-Yes it would be better to graduate with an IB scholarship than a regular one because IB courses in high school is like taking college courses. And since IB is mostly college level courses you are able to receive credits for college during high school so…
-And yes it would also give you a higher chance at getting into a good college because they will be able to see that you can the handle the pressure.
-I would say the change would somewhat hard because you are going from regular classes to college coursed classes. It would be somewhat difficult but the result would be more than likely worth it.
I hope this helps you out a bit.
