AWARD AMOUNTS

Financial aid awards range from $500 to $1,500.  If an applicant’s club dues are less than $500, the scholarship award should match what the club dues are, and the excess is returned to the fund. 

Not all applicants will receive funding.  This is an extremely competitive application process.  Applications that are incomplete, lacking documentation, or that do not follow directions will be disqualified.  Submission of an application does not guarantee funding will be awarded. 

FINANCIAL NEED

The applicant must demonstrate financial need by providing one of the following forms of documentation:

  • Proof of free or reduced lunch enrollment from their school district.
  • Proof of enrollment in, or a statement of benefits from, a state-funded or state-administered health care plan (e.g., the Oregon Health Plan).
  • Proof of enrollment in a state-funded or state-administered food benefits plan (e.g., the Oregon Trail program, Washington Basic Food program, or SNAP).

The above documentation is the only documentation accepted.  Other forms of documentation, such as tax returns, paychecks, or bank statements are not accepted and may cause your application to be disqualified. 

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

The applicant is required to have a USAV membership in the current season to be considered, and that membership must be upgraded from a tryout membership by the application deadline.  Scholarships will only be distributed to student-athletes who commit to a team. 

Applications and/or documentation received that is unreadable, applications that are missing documentation or required information, will not be considered.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

The application asks for the following basic information from the applicant, including name, address, age, USAV member number, parent/guardian names & contact information, and anticipated club dues for the 2024-2025 season.
