Financial Aid

MVLA Soccer Club provides a need-based financial aid program to help cover club dues and coaching fees. The program does not cover uniforms, tournaments, travel, lodging, apparel or miscellaneous expenses. Each year the club budgets a set amount to support the financial aid program, but this does not guarantee that all applicants will receive support.
