Financial Aid

Overview
The Pegasus Soccer Club strives to keep soccer affordable and wishes to reduce the economic barriers of playing soccer. As such, as long as funds are available, Pegasus will make financial aid, in the form of a scholarship, available to deserving players and their families.

• Scholarship amounts wiill be based on the needs of the family.
• Scholarships will be reviewed on a yearly basis.
• Pegasus Soccer Club has asked Family Service: Prevention, Education & Counseling NFP to assist in determining whether a family is in need of a scholarship. Applications should be sent directly to them. They will make a determination and notify the club treasurer. The financial information on the application form will not be shared with any club official.

Criteria and Eligibility
Any family is eligible to apply for a scholarship if an economic barrier could prevent the player from playing soccer. Financial need will be the only determinant in receiving a scholarship. In order to assess financial need, the following will be taken into consideration:

• Applicant must complete the required Pegasus Scholarship Application Form and return the completed application to Family Service: Prevention, Education & Counseling NFP.
• Scholarship applications are accepted throughout the year.
• Financial need will be the only factor in awarding a soccer scholarship. Out of respect for privacy, Pegasus will not request copies of W-2s, paychecks, tax returns etc. In lieu, as part of the scholarship application, the family will be asked to make a statement declaring how much the family makes annually and during the prior 90 days. Applications will be reviewed by Family Service: Prevention, Education & Counseling NFP who may, at their discretion, ask for additional documentation from the family during the review process.
• Scholarship recipients will be asked to pay for some portion of the club fees. Pegasus wishes to have the family pay whatever amount they feel they can pay. If circumstances prevent a family from making any payment, a scholarship will still be considered.
