General
The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) is a non-profit, all volunteer program. Our mission is to provide soccer opportunities to as many young athletes as possible in a fun, fair and safe environment.

Our basic policy is that parents/guardians should finance their children’s registration fee to the “extent that they are able.” In that our goal is maximum participation, a scholarship fund has been established in our region to help parents/guardians with the registration fee. An AYSO scholarship is based on the financial need of families who are not able to pay for all or part of their child’s registration in order to participate. Because there are limited funds available, the scholarships will go to families who demonstrate the greatest need while scholarship funds remain available.

Criteria:

1. Parents/guardians must submit a form for each player requesting a scholarship. (Information provided will be held in complete confidence.)

2. Families may be requested to provide documentation that supports the financial need such as proof of current government financial aid or that the child is a participant of a free/reduced school lunch program (Title 1 student). Recommendations received from government agencies, social agencies or school administrators may also meet this requirement.

3. Amount and type of previous volunteerism or willingness to volunteer will also be a consideration.

4. Applications must be received within the registration window.

5. Families understand the scholarships can only be used towards division cost and families are still required to pay the $25 National AYSO Fee. (There will be NO exceptions allowed.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please register your player before completing this scholarship application.
