MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID

OVERVIEW

NWEFC believes that all children should be able to play soccer, regardless of their family's financial situation. Players can receive financial help from the club through merit based scholarships or need based financial assistance. Both require an application process.

NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID

Families in need are provided the opportunity to play through our need-based scholarship program. If you know the posted club fees will be a hardship on your family, please apply for financial aid. NWEFC will review each application, keeping all information confidential. All need-based applications for financial aid will be considered.

APPLICATION DEADLINE 5/15

All Financial Aid applications must be submitted by May 15th. Late applications will be denied unless special circumstances apply. I.e. your financial situation changed later in the year.
