Financial assistance is available to players who are not able to afford the registration costs associated with playing soccer.

Financial assistance will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the funds are gone for a particular season, no more aid can be given. In order to spread the assistance as far as possible, we ask each family seeking aid to pay as much as they can afford. The St. Mary’s Soccer board is committed to maintaining low registration fees so that more children have the opportunity to play soccer. This commitment to low registration fees means that the amount of scholarship aid is limited.

 

We consider many factors when evaluating eligibility for financial assistance. Please submit a paragraph briefly stating any relevant information. These circumstances may include, but are not limited to, death, illness, loss of compensation, or other changes in financial position.

 

Applications for financial assistance must be made by a player’s parent or guardian. Financial assistance applications will be held in confidence between the parent/guardian and the scholarship committee for St. Mary’s Soccer. Please realize that a request must be submitted each season, and the receipt of financial assistance in one season does not guarantee assistance in future seasons.

 

Travel and RecPlus players are responsible for purchasing their uniforms. Recreational player uniforms are provided at no extra cost. The expenses that can be covered by scholarship are limited to the RecPlus registration fee or SMS Travel club fee.

  

It is expected that a family receiving financial assistance will be willing to volunteer their time to help the club in some way  Please let us know if there are circumstances that would prevent family members from helping.

 

Financial assistance to a player/family may be terminated if the financial situation is resolved, funds become unavailable, or if the player is deemed in conflict with the Club/Team requirements for player commitment or behavior.
