CGU recognizes the cost of participation in youth sports and the financial burden that it places on families. For the 2023-2024 season, CGU is able to offer scholarships to support families who want their child(ren) to continue experiencing youth soccer, but may not have the financial means to do so.

●      Given the low cost of our traveling soccer programs, financial assistance is limited to players at the traveling levels, not rec soccer.

●      Total dollar amount of scholarship awards given, nor the number of applications accepted, can be guaranteed. It is estimated for applications that are accepted, awards per player will range from $175 to $400, with a per family maximum of $800.00

●      The final available budget towards CGU scholarship(s) will depend upon

○      1) Funds raised during CGU-wide fundraisers - golf tournaments, etc.

○      2) Final registration numbers

The criteria used and the relative weighting to evaluate the applications and determine the awards will be as follows:

1. Financial need (40%)
2. Number of children on a traveling team - (20%)
3. Community involvement: volunteering, participation in other youth sports, etc. (20%)
4. Other circumstances as noted in the application (20%)

Applications will be accepted through Sunday, July 30th, with decisions for awards to be made shortly thereafter. Please submit completed applications to the Registrar at registrar@cottagegrovesoccer.org by or before the deadline.

Any questions please contact Registrar at registrar@cottagegrovesoccer.org or president@cottagegroversoccer.org
