PROGRAM OVERVIEW

MTsc United offers a limited number of Financial Aid Registration Scholarships which changes from time to time at the sole discretion of MTsc U. Financial Aid Registration Scholarships are provided to youth athletes desiring to register to participate in the MTsc U Recreational Random Draw, Friendship, SNL or Competitive leagues.  Financial Aid Registration Scholarships are provided on a first come, first satisfy basis.  Scholarships provide for a discount off the cost of registration fees only for the upcoming season (if SNL, Recreational Random Draw or Friendship) or soccer year (if Competitive) and do NOT provide for any costs associated with uniforms or other equipment required to play soccer.

If a player is approved for financial aid from MTsc United, MTsc U will subsidize the cost of their registration fees only. FULL or PARTIAL financial aid may be awarded by MTsc U to a player. There will NOT be a check sent to the player but instead MTsc U will provide a discount code (if non-Competitive) for online registration use or if a Competitive player, MTsc U may provide a check to the player or inform TSC Hurricane of such financial aid award directly to be deducted from a player’s current or future amount owed rather than provide a check.  In either case, the player’s parent/guardian will receive a confirmation email from MTsc United ONLY in the event an award is provided.  Notice of Financial Aid Registration Scholarship awards for non-competitive players will be provided typically within 1-2 weeks of receipt by MTsc U of the player’s completed application; for competitive within 30 days of the application deadline and not before confirmation of the player’s registration with TSC Hurricane.

Scholarship participants must reapply each season (for Recreational Random Draw, Friendship and Special Needs (SNL) or each year (for Competitive TSCH) and provide the required paperwork as described herein.
