Outreach Application 2018-2019

Objective: Montgomery United Soccer Club (MonU) provides interested and motivated youth the opportunity to play soccer at the level that fits their skill and ability. MonU strives to keep soccer affordable, so all youth have an opportunity to participate. As such, the MonU Outreach program is intended to provide opportunities for financially disadvantaged youth players to participate in MonU programs.

Privacy: All Outreach applications and financial documentation information provided will be kept CONFIDENTIAL. For the privacy of our applicants, all documentation provided will be destroyed or returned (upon request) after the MonU Outreach Committee approves or denies the request for financial aid.

Guidelines:

Financial need must be demonstrated for consideration. Economic hardship will be the only factor in awarding Outreach funds.
No one will be disqualified from consideration because of sex, race, color, creed or religious beliefs.
While we try to address as much of the need as possible, Outreach amounts will be based on the number of players demonstrating need, the extent of that need and the budget available for Outreach that year.
Outreach awards will be reviewed and determined as follows:
Rec Programs: 2 weeks prior to session start date
Competitive Teams U8-U14: September 1
Competitive Teams U15 and older : November 1

Criteria and Eligibility:

To be considered you must:

Complete and submit an application for Outreach.
Please include any additional documentation demonstrating some form of Federal financial assistance. For example, free or reduced lunch programs, unemployment checks, or any other proof of subsidy from the Federal government will be required.
Applications received after the published deadline may be considered only if funds are still available.
Applications that are not filled out completely will not be considered.
Applications must be filled out by the adult requesting Outreach. Applications for Outreach cannot be filled out by coaches, team managers, children or friends.
All submitted financial information will be destroyed by MonU in compliance with the MonU document retention policies, unless the applicant requests their return.
Any unpaid league fees from prior seasons will result in an applicant being ineligible for Outreach.
Outreach recipients must complete required volunteer time. Not fulfilling the required volunteer time will make the applicant ineligible for future Outreach
MonU reserves the right to request a copy of the first two pages of your last two years filed Federal Tax Returns.

After Outreach is awarded, the remaining balance of player registration and other applicable fees are to be paid in full by November 1, 2017 unless an alternate payment schedule is in place. Failure to maintain financial good standing with MonU will result in a player being ineligible to participate.Outreach is applied to Program Fees and Team Dues (there may be additional costs foruniforms and tournament travel).Your request will be reviewed by the Outreach Committee in a timely manner. Note, if a competitive player that is approved for Outreach assistance leaves MonU prior to the end of the seasonal year (unless for justifiable extenuating circumstances), then the family will be required to reimburse MonU for the amount ofOutreach received in order to be released in good standing.
