We are pleased to
outline our 2008 Scholarship Policy and procedures on behalf of
Camas Washougal Soccer Club. We realize that this is a
sensitive subject and we are committed to maintaining
confidentiality throughout the process.
Here you will find
the steps and guidelines to requesting a Scholarship. As you
know, we are a non-profit organization which means that we raise
just enough money to operate and sustain our Club. Scholarship
monies come primarily from our tournaments that are held in
summer and try-out fees for select soccer. We have been
fortunate enough to provide Fee assistance to multiple players
each year, and this year should be no different. These
scholarships are awarded strictly on need and a player’s
family’s volunteer efforts with the club are taken into
consideration when scholarship money is distributed.
Once awarded,
those families that receive a scholarship are expected to donate
the required amount of volunteer time as determined by the club.
Helping to coach a team or participating in team sponsored
activities are encouraged and welcome but do not satisfy this
requirement.
The following are some of the tasks that need to be done
throughout the season, and which qualify as volunteer work:
• Field lining
• Field set up - goals and flags
• Goal maintenance - painting goal posts and fixing nets
• Tournaments - many volunteer opportunities including;
Field Marshal
Operations
First Aid Tent
Concessions
Hospitality Tent
Finally, let us say
that we desire to help every player compete in soccer. Whether
that is through coaching or the team experience or through
financial means, we hope every player in our Club grows a little
each year.
This is not a
perfect process, but it is one that we hope to refine and
improve upon continuously.
Thank you very
much.
