Work Scholarship

The MVLA San Jose Financial Assistance Committee follows the guidelines of the Work Scholarship program to make all aid decisions. In order to qualify, a family must complete an application per player and provide proof of eligibility. Families will be notified by email or phone call within 4 weeks of program application acceptance or denial. Families that received a work scholarship award will need to re-apply in the fall of each seasonal year. Please complete the Application Form and submit updated documents as listed on the form.

The work scholarship program is a need-based program that is awarded to families based upon their income. A family’s income level is qualified using the stated Santa Clara County Income Limits. The program is offered to all players regardless of where they live. The player applicant must be a full-time student with a GPA of 2.5 or above. Work Scholarship award recipients are required to participate in club-wide fundraising, and perform ~30 league specified service hours. Recipient(s) risk future eligibility if they aren't committed to assisting in these efforts. How the Work Scholarship Program Works: 1. Register Your Player(s) When registering, please select the Work Scholarship payment option. This will allow you to pay only $50 at the time of registration. 2. Complete the Work Scholarship Application After registration, you will need to complete the Work Scholarship Application, which asks some basic questions and requires you to upload supporting documentation. This information helps us determine the level of financial need. 3. Submit the Work Scholarship Commitment Form You will then complete the Work Scholarship Commitment Form, where you can select from a variety of volunteer jobs available throughout the season. The roles you select will help us determine your scholarship award amount. How Awards Are Calculated: Each hour worked/volunteered will represent 1% of an award toward your player’s dues. For example: If you work 30 hours, you will receive a 30% reduction in your dues. If your dues are $1,000, you will be awarded $300.00. This award will also count toward your fundraising efforts and the two amounts will be combined to reduce the over total cost of your dues.

The player applicant must be a full-time student with a GPA of 2.5 and above. Please refer to the chart on the financial assistance form (https://mvlasj.byga.net/programs/yjp0qfybjv/signup)for more information. ​
