Scholarship Program
The Harleysville Youth Association (HEYA) may grant registration fee scholarships to boys and girls who without this financial assistance would not be able to participate in youth football and cheerleading. Scholarships are only available to cover the cost of registration fees and are not available to cover any additional costs (mandatory fundraiser, shoes, clothing-except what is provided by HEYA, travel fees, etc).
Scholarship requests must be submitted to HEYA no later than June 1st, 2016. The scholarship year shall run from August 2016 until the end of the season, November 2016. The scholarship committee, which includes the Board of Directors, is bound by a confidentiality clause and will consider all applications received by the application deadline. The amount of scholarship awarded (if any) may be partial or full scholarship depending on the number of applicant and the amount of scholarship funds available. Scholarships are awarded for one season, therefore, individual registrants must reapply for each sport and year they are requesting assistance.
The Harleysville Youth Association (HEYA) is a non-profit organization with a very limited amount of funding available for scholarship athletes. No guarantee of assistance is implied in this application. If the number of applications submitted and approved exceeds the amount available, the scholarships shall be awarded at the discretion of HEYA's Board with regard to quantity and dollar amount.
