Amount of Aid Award – Any financial aid awarded will be applied to amounts due to the club, i.e. competitive tuition or monthly dues for competitive players or recreational registration fee for recreational players. The committee shall determine the amount of the financial aid available for a season; however, there is no obligation to award all/any of the financial aid funds available. Based on the total amount of the financial aid funds and the number of requests for financial aid, awards will be made based on reported family income. The maximum amount of an award to an individual for a season shall not exceed 100% of the membership dues and team fees.
