Tri-Cities United Soccer Club offers a scholarship program to eligible players that can be applied to the CLUB Fees.  Scholarship is not able to be applied to the team fees in the select/premier program. Applications should be submitted quickly after accepting a roster position. Please see the specific criteria below. Funds are limited. 

• Families who qualify for a free or reduced lunch program or who are qualified for food stamps. 
• Families who can provide a written explanation and evidence of a unique hardship circumstance. The information will be reviewed by a small committee of board members who will approve or deny the financial aid request. 
• Players receiving financial aid who do not attend training or frequently miss games will be asked to leave the team. Funds are limited and those players who are committed to their team and club will receive priority. 

• It is the intent of the club to provide the opportunity to play competitive or recreational soccer to all kids in our community, regardless of race, gender, creed, or income. To achieve this vision, we offer the following financial assistance until our funds are exhausted.

• Families that are awarded scholarship will be asked to volunteer at our annual spring and fall tournaments.
