Our scholarships assist with tuition costs / training fees for thr4e season, and the process for applying is listed below.  I am starting to schedule the application-interview meetings with families and would encourage you to contact me early. 

Since we have a set amount of funding available for the upcoming year, there will only be a very small amount of scholarship grants available after tryouts.    

The application-interview meetings will ideally be scheduled and completed prior to tryouts and I am available during both the daytime and the evening (limited) hours.
