One such pathway is the US college experience, which provides Australian softball players the opportunity to develop their skills, gain international exposure, and earn a higher education.

ScholarshipStats
Statistics and college links covering varsity sports, athletic scholarships, odds of playing college sport, and average SAT/ACT scores and admission rates, with a sport-by-sport breakdown including softball. Note: this site is closing at the end of 2026 and its data is no longer being updated, so treat the figures as a snapshot rather than current — the operators point to NIL-NCAA.com (https://nil-ncaa.com/scholarships/) as the successor site for NCAA Division I data.
