What does the scholarship cover?
Answers Absolutely. All information supplied, and access to it, is limited to the small Scholarship Review Committee. The committee consists of the League Scholarship Coordinator, the Vice President and Player Agent for each division of play. The information is not shared outside this group. The scholarship program was established to assist families of baseball and/or softball players with financial hardships. For players that meet the eligibility requirements, registration fees for the season in question are paid fully or partially by Lake Mary Little League. Scholarships are neither permanent nor automatically renewed every season. Scholarships expire at the end of each season. Requests for scholarships must be made in each season. Applications must meet the scholarship eligibility requirements. No. In financial hardship cases, a scholarship may be requested for each child in your family that wants to play baseball or softball. The Scholarship Committee will examine the needs and make a decision on the scope (full or partial) of the scholarship award(s). If you have been given a scholarship in the past, it does not prevent future scholarship requests. The circumstances (financial hardships, etc.) noted in the request are evaluated with every request (re-evaluated if it is a repeated request). The scholarship eligibility requirements still must be satisfied in all cases. All scholarships are judged on their own merit. Depending on the circumstances, the scholarship award may be full or it may be partial. The Scholarship Committee will make that determination. Registration fees for baseball and/or softball only including uniform. It does not cover any equipment such as bats/helmets/gloves, however, the league does provide the team with access to items to borrow as needed.
