Financial Assistance
Objective
The Celtics Soccer Club is committed to providing an affordable competitive soccer program. In addition, Celtics encourages camaraderie, confidence, pride, and team spirit. Because of these strong beliefs, as long as funds are available from donations received and/or fundraising activities conducted by the club, Celtics will make scholarships available to qualifying players and their families. If at all possible, no player who wishes to play soccer and participate in the Celtics Soccer Club will be denied due to financial hardship.
Criteria and Eligibility
Normally, no scholarship will be awarded to cover the cost of the uniforms, camps or travel costs for coaches. However, there may be some extreme circumstances where a child may receive additional assistance. In the event a child meets the Federal Poverty Guidelines as reflected in the Federal Register, a child may receive more financial assistance; However, funds are limited. Unfortunately, player travel expenses cannot be covered in the scholarship. A Celtics Scholarship will not cover cost of additional items purchased, such as socks, equipment bags, practice gear, or other non-uniform items.
Applications for scholarships are available for both seasons. These Applications must be submitted prior to June 15 for the Fall Season and January 15 for the Spring Season. It is unlikely scholarship funds will remain available for those who apply after these dates.
