YDP USA Scholarships is a UK-based sports scholarship organisation focused on helping talented student-athletes pursue university opportunities in the United States while continuing their sporting careers. The organisation works primarily with athletes and their families to navigate the U.S. college recruitment and scholarship process, combining athletic development with academic planning. Its official website describes support across scholarship guidance, family guidance, coach exposure, player assessment and application support.
YDP USA supports athletes across several sports, including soccer, field hockey, rugby, tennis and golf. Soccer is a major part of its work, with pathways for both male and female players seeking opportunities within the U.S. college system. The organisation's process can include an initial consultation, assessment of athletic and academic ability, entry into its network, recruitment-profile preparation, showcase opportunities, highlight-video guidance, college-coach exposure, SAT/ACT guidance, visa assistance and continued support through the transition to university.
Its football-related activities also include talent-identification days, showcases and international football experiences. The organisation states that it has helped hundreds of athletes pursue opportunities in the United States, while its current programmes include men's and women's talent-identification events for players interested in U.S. college soccer scholarships. YDP also provides organised football tours involving training, competition and exposure to U.S. college programmes.
LinkedIn identifies the organisation's headquarters as Leicester, Leicestershire, United Kingdom, and lists its company size as 2–10 employees. Its official website provides contact details for general enquiries and identifies Josh Carpenter as a direct contact. YDP USA therefore operates at the intersection of sports recruitment, athlete development, university admissions support and international student-athlete placement, with a particular emphasis on helping athletes understand and pursue U.S. college scholarship pathways.
