Great River SC strives to provide an affordable and competitive youth soccer program for all participants. Financial aid is available for those that may be prevented from participation due to income or special needs limitations. There is a finite amount of aid available each year, based on what the annual budget allows.

The full Financial Aid Policy can be found here.

PROCESS
Financial aid applications should be made at the time of tryout registration for competitive soccer, or as early in the registration process as possible for other programs. For competitive soccer where team placement was determined by player evaluations applications will be reviewed and financial aid amount will be determined in August for the upcoming seasons. Applications received after the tryout registration deadline will be reviewed as they are received and grants will be made only if money is still available for the year. Application for aid does not guarantee a grant will be made.

FINANCIAL AID AMOUNT
Need is determined by income level, family size, and extenuating circumstances. Aid will be awarded in the following increments: 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. 100% aid will rarely be granted and only in
extreme cases of need. A payment plan option is utilized where needed. All payments and payment plans for the year need to be completed by April 30th in order for the player to participate in the summer season. If payments are not up to date or any of the requirements outlined in this document are not met, GRSC may terminate ties with player at any time during the year.
Aid will cover a percentage of GRSC club fees and winter training fees.
Aid does not cover, and all players are expected to pay for the following:
  Required uniform package
     Coaching Fees
     Tournament Fees
  Tournament travel related costs for player and coach (transportation, hotel, and meals)
  Any ancillary team funding
  Any optional special order items like warm-ups, backpacks, etc
Families who do not fulfill their payment plan agreement will not be eligible for aid in subsequent years.

CONFIDENTIALITY
GRSC will maintain application information in the strictest confidence. Committee review will be done based on needed information only. Applications will be kept on file for audit records. Information will only be shared with the selection committee, no other individuals will have access to information.
