Financial Aid
MVLA Soccer Club provides a need based financial aid program to help cover club dues and coaching fees. The program does not cover uniforms, tournaments, travel, lodging, apparel or miscellaneous expenses. Each year the club budgets a set amount to support the financial aid program, but this does not guarantee that all applicants will receive support.
Application Process
The MVLA Soccer Club Financial Aid Committee, comprised of three Board Members, follows the guidelines of the financial aid program to make all financial aid decisions. In order to qualify, a family must complete an application per player and provide proof of eligibility. Families will be notified by mail within 4 weeks of program application acceptance or denial. If accepted, the amount of award based on season and player age group will also be provided.
Eligibility
The financial aid program is a need based program that is awarded to families based upon their income. A family's income level is qualified using the stated Santa Clara County Income Limits. The program is offered to all players on the 1st or 2nd team regardless of where they live and to all players on the 3rd team and below who live in the Foothill Chapter which includes Mountain View, Los Altos and Sunnyvale. The player applicant must be a full-time student with a GPA of 2.0 or above. Financial aid recipients are required to perform the league mandated 10 hours of volunteer service and cannot choose to pay the buy-out fee.
