Who qualifies for aid?
Any registered and actively participating MYSA player is eligible for the season they are participating. While we have set income thresholds relative to family size, they are guidelines and extenuating circumstances may be taken into account when the application is reviewed.
Are awards seasonal (Fall/Spring) or annual?
Awards for Recreational players cover a single season of cost. You must apply for assistance before each season (Fall and/or Spring) even if you received an award in a previous season! Travel players commit to a team for either an entire year or a single season, depending on age, so travel awards will cover the length of time for that commitment.
What if I register after the deadline?
Applications will still be accepted after the deadline, however there may not be funds available for late grants if all alloted funds have already been disbursed to on time qualified applications
What if I have already paid the fees for a season?
If you receive an award and have already paid your fees for the season/year, they will be refunded to you by the league as soon as possible.
Are awards only for registration fees? What about equipment, training, tournaments, etc.?
Currently our awards are for registration fees only, however depending on the number of awards granted and available funds, the MYSA Board may choose to expand the scope of the program to cover more things. If you need assistance with equipment, the MYSA is working on an equipment swap program. Contact the MYSA Outreach Coordinator for more information.
More information about the program can be found in the MYSA Financial Aid Policy.
