The FYSA Board of Directors established the Florida Youth Soccer Foundation to give back to the affiliates and to assist them in furthering the game of soccer in Florida. FYSA is excited to collaborate with US Youth Soccer for this year’s grant to increase funding and offer additional assistance and opportunities for our membership.
In October 2024, the FYSA Board of Directors voted to continue the Foundation Grant for scholarships for the 2024-2025 seasonal year.
Scholarship: The Scholarships category allows affiliates to apply for some portion of registration fees on behalf of disadvantaged players. Funds will be sent directly to the affiliate. There will be no direct payments to a player or a player’s family.
Applications and all supporting documents must be submitted by Friday, March 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST. Anything submitted after this deadline will not be accepted. Awardees will be notified by February 28, 2022. Only one application will be accepted per club.
If you have any questions about the FYSA Foundation Grant, please contact the state office at Fpineda@fysa.com.
