ASSISTANCE GRANTS
UUSC understands that many families are experiencing financial challenges. Our goal is to ensure that no child is denied playing soccer. Our policy is that players must apply to outside sources for funding prior to applying to the club.
The following resources are available to our members to help offset all or a portion of registration fees to qualifying members.
Every Kid Sports. For recreational fees only. To apply, click here. These funds run out quickly so be sure to visit the website and apply as early as possible.
Lance Michael Emmons Athletic Scholarship (Mercy Foundation). For recreational and competitive league fees. To apply, click here, print out the application, fill it in, take a picture or upload and email it to [email protected]. The UUSC staff will submit this application to Mercy Foundation on your behalf. By submitting the form to the UUSC office our staff can postpone your payments until the application decision has been made. This process typically takes weeks and it could be the end of the season before having a decision.
