Scholarship Policy
Our organization offers need-based scholarships to support families committed to participation, academic success, and community involvement. Scholarships are limited and awarded based on documented financial need, academic performance, participation, and volunteer commitment.
Our goal is to support families experiencing current hardship, and the scholarship is not intended to be a perpetual award that provides the same level of support year after year. We aim to serve as many families as possible who are currently in need, and therefore scholarship awards are subject to change or discontinuation based on updated need and available funding. Families are encouraged to reapply annually if circumstances warrant, understanding that prior awards do not guarantee future funding.

1. Demonstrated Financial Need
Who is the money available for and what assistance is possible? Scholarships are available to those players/families who need assistance. We’ve developed a system, outlined below, to provide a defined review process and make selections in a transparent and fair manner. Our Patriot Scholarship Program was developed through communication with current board members, past scholarship recipients, and Patriot family members. The scholarship application is reviewed by the club’s leadership and Patriot Board. All applications will be reviewed to determine eligibility, need, and whether the club can afford to add another scholarship. Our program has three stages which we’d like each player to progress through over time. We believe this process builds character and attachment to the sport, Club and team.
Applicants must submit a written Statement of Need that includes:
  • A clear explanation of their financial hardship
  • The number of months of scholarship support being requested
The following supporting documentation is required:
  • Most recent tax returns (for all adult household members)
  • A current household budget
  • Bank statements from the last 2–3 months
  • Any other relevant documentation (e.g., pay stubs, benefit letters)
Incomplete applications or those missing documentation will not be reviewed.

2. Academic Requirements
  • Maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA
  • Submit the most recent report card or transcript with the application
  • Academic standing may be reviewed throughout the year to determine continued eligibility
3. Participation Requirements
Scholarship recipients are expected to:
  • Maintain 85% attendance at all practices
  • Absences must be communicated in advance and excused (e.g., illness, emergency)
  • Unexcused absences may result in loss of scholarship
  • Participate in all tournaments unless officially excused by a coach or program director
  • Exhibit consistent effort, teamwork, and respect
4. Volunteer Hour Commitment
Scholarship recipients are required to complete volunteer hours:
  • Base requirement: 20 hours per year (required for all families)
  • Additional monthly requirement: 10–15 hours per month, based on scholarship level
  • Assigned hours will be communicated during the review process
  • Tracking: Hours will be logged and monitored via our SportsEngine platform
  • Failure to meet monthly volunteer requirements may lead to termination of scholarship
5. Application Review & Confidentiality
  • Please allow 2–4 weeks for processing and determination of scholarship status
  • Submit all required documentation to: [Insert contact/email here]
  • All application materials are handled confidentially
  • Only general, non-identifying information is shared with the Board of Directors for final approval
