Winstanley Student scores football scholarship with top US school
Back
Ben Rowlands, upper sixth Winstanley student, has successfully secured a scholarship with US based American Football school Union College.
Ben, who joined Winstanley in 2020, is an avid football player and is passionate about studying the sport at higher level. He currently plays for our men’s team but has his sights set much further afield – Ben will soon be studying Sports and Exercise Science with Athletic Coaching at Union College in the States!
Since establishing contact with First Point USA, a scholarship agency, Ben has strived toward making his dream of playing football at high level a reality. First Point have given Ben the opportunity to play at some of the best facilities in the country, including St George’s Park: the home of England’s teams.
Ben, who is currently in his second year here at Winstanley, says:
‘The support with learning at Winstanley has been incredible. All of the teachers are very welcoming, helpful and enthusiastic about their subjects – especially during the difficult times of COVID and online learning.’
We can’t wait to see how far Ben goes when he leaves Winstanley and takes the next step towards achieving his dream.
