RSL FLORIDA SOCCER CLUB
FINANCIAL AID GUIDELINES AND ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
It is the mission of RSL Florida to provide the youth of Florida a premier, competitive soccer club devoted to the principles of good conduct, superior sportsmanship and a focus on player development where all players are welcome regardless of race, nationality, religion or socio-economic status. In keeping with this mission, limited opportunities are available for partial scholarships to pay for club dues and game day uniforms. (Team dues will not be affected and can be off-set with team fundraisers.)
Eligible and deserving youth soccer players must qualify for assistance from another government or school agency and provide documentation. Examples would be:
Ø Free or Reduced School Lunches
Ø Food Stamps
Ø Social Security Income
Ø Medicaid
Ø Foster Care Dependant
Ø Aid for Dependant Children
Players must be enrolled in school. Players and/or their families are required to volunteer a minimum of ten hours per season to the club to off-set financial aid. Players attending Lanier or Monroe Schools may be given priority. Players who attain Honor Roll and/or Good Attendance in school will also be given preference.
To apply, complete the attached application (one per child) and attach documentation and verification of financial need. Copies of tax forms, receipt of government aid, letter from the Social Security Office or school are all examples of required documentation. APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED IN OUR OFFICE BY JULY 1ST.
RSL Florida will not use any information provided on the application for any purpose other than to determine financial need. All information related to the players’ identity will remain confidential to anyone other than the Finance Team and the Financial Aid Committee. The Scholarship committee’s decisions are final and the amount of funding is limited to budgetary restrictions.
RSL FLORIDA would like to thank PUBLIX SUPERMARKETS and NESTLE WATERS for their very generous donations to our scholarship program. Please support our sponsors who provide opportunities for deserving and talented youth to succeed!
