AYSO Region 212
Scholarship Application
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 complete the scholarship application form. (Information provided will be held in complete confidence.)
2. Families receiving first consideration will be those able 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 school lunch program (Title I student). In addition, or as an alternative, AYSO will also give priority consideration to recommendations received from government agencies, social agencies or school administrators (such as the school principal).
3. Amount and type of previous volunteerism provided by the applicant's family or child may improve consideration for a scholarship. Failure to meet previous volunteer commitments or lack of willingness to volunteer will also be a consideration.
4. Scholarship applications should be submitted for approval at any regularly scheduled AYSO Region 212 registration event or may be submitted to the Regional Commissioner.
