Meet Your Recruitment Specialist
👋 Hi, I’m Bente Baekers— founder of ScholarShipped and former NCAA Division I field hockey player.
After six incredible years in the U.S. on full scholarships to Northwestern University (Chicago) and UC Berkeley (San Francisco), I’m here to help make your American dream a reality.
From winning the national championship, to earning my degrees, to recovering from an ACL injury, navigating homesickness, and thriving in the highs of campus life — I’ve lived every part of the student-athlete experience.
Let my firsthand knowledge of programs, team cultures, and college coaches guide you toward the programs that want to see you succeed — on the field, in the classroom, and in life.
🏑 Your hockey talent is your ticket.
✅ Let me be your guide. I’ve got your back — every step of the way.
