The purpose of the Futures Futbol Club Financial Aid and Scholarship Fund is to provide every qualified youth soccer player who possesses the talent, desire and commitment to participate and experience the organized soccer, futsal curriculum experience, but who may not be able to afford the financial obligations of this competitive level. Other times certain families may experience temporary financial hardships and may need a financial aid to keep up with their financial commitments required for this level and programs.
How Financial Aid Is Awarded Financial aid will be reviewed and granted by the Financial Committee primarily on a need basis and then soccer merit. The financial aid process takes into consideration the financial needs along with other factors that may effect a player's ability to be able to play for Futures FC. Because the financial resources of the Futures Futbol Club Financial Aid Fund are limited, the availability and amount of scholarships is also limited to actual financial hardship situations. The financial Aid may not always be available and it may vary season to season due to available funds.
All financial aid applications must be approved by the Financial Aid Committee. The family will receive written notice of the decision whether their application has been approved or not. All information described in the Financial Aid application will be kept confidential.
Financial Aid Requirements In order for financial aid to be awarded, the parents or guardians of the prospective player must complete the Financial Aid Application. If the required paperwork is not provided by the date requested, or if the Financial Aid Committee determines that there is insufficient basis for aid based on need, the application will be denied. All financial aid applicants are expected to pay the reduced Player Fees on the same payment schedule as other players unless approved otherwise by the Director of Finance and/or scholarship committee.
Financial Aid Restrictions and Expectations All Financial aid awarded is applied to tuition only. No aid will be awarded to cover the cost of the uniforms, camps, travel costs or variable fees for additional events in which a team participates. Aid recipients will be expected to conform fully to the policies of Futures Futbol Club regarding behavior and conduct as well as attendance. In the event that a scholarship player and/or parent fails to meet these expectations the scholarship may be withdrawn immediately in whole or in part. All Financial Aid applications are valid for one soccer year (August 1st through July 31st of the following year) and applications must be submitted each year if the applicant wishes to be considered. All Financial Aid applications and required paperwork are due by August 1 of each year.
