Space Coast United Soccer Club Scholarship
Space Coast United Soccer Club P.O. Box 410301 Melbourne, FL 32941 Phone (321) 541-0445
Space Coast United Soccer Club Scholarship Information and Application Instructions 1. Space Coast United Soccer Club (SCUSC) members are expected to “pay to play.” SCUSC offers partial assistance to players in need of financial aid. The member is expected to fund the remaining portion of their fees. Scholarship applications will not be considered if the player has unpaid fees from a prior season, or has outstanding fees due to another youth soccer club. All fees in arrears must be paid in full before consideration for fee assistance for any subsequent seasons. If SCUSC learns a scholarship applicant has outstanding fees to another club, we reserve the right to reject the application until all outstanding fees to other clubs have been demonstrated as paid. Failure to pay fees may result in the withholding of player credentials. Players that choose to leave prior to the end of the season shall be required to pay back the scholarship award and any unpaid fees at the Board’s sole and absolute discretion. 2. Applications must include proof of need, preferably with a copy of the first two pages of the previous year’s federal tax return. Requests for fee assistance are considered on a per season basis for Club Fees only. No assistance is offered for related expenses such as tournament fees and travel costs. 3. The amount of aid and number of players receiving aid is dependent upon the money available in the Club Scholarship Fund and therefore, cannot be guaranteed. Scholarship funding is obtained from many sources including: contributions from SCUSC families, grants, fundraising, and SCUSC operations. 4. Players/families receiving financial assistance are expected to support SCUSC’s programming by contributing their time and talent to the club. Volunteer participation is a consideration in granting fee assistance. There are many such opportunities available throughout the year. We ask that families receiving aid volunteer at least 5 hours beyond the 10 hours stated in the Player Parent Agreement. Please let us know if there are circumstances preventing the player or his/her family from contributing in this way. 5. SCUSC reserves the right to seek funding from other sources to recover the costs of aid to individual player(s). By applying for financial assistance from SCUSC, you agree to cooperate in SCUSC’s efforts to recover funding and understand that these efforts do not increase the aid to your player. 6. Please provide all requested information as incomplete applications may be returned and given no consideration for the current season. All information is solely for the purpose of determining fee assistance grants and held in confidence by the SCUSC Scholarship Committee. 7. Please check the SCUSC website for application deadlines. SCUSC may reject any application received after the deadline. 8. If there are other factors you believe the Scholarship Committee should take into consideration in determining the level of award, please attach the explanation to the signed application form on a separate sheet of paper. In addition to partial scholarship grants, SCUSC is willing to work with members who need to take advantage of a fee payment plan to assure fees are paid in full by a reasonable date. Please contact Brian Lundy at [email protected] to inquire about payment plan options.
