Lebanon Youth Football & Cheer (LYFC) may grant registration fee scholarships to children who without this financial assistance would not be able to participate in our program. Lebanon Youth Football & Cheer scholarship program focuses on providing opportunities for area youth to participate because of the physical, mental, and character-training benefits this program can provide. Scholarships are only available to cover the cost of registration and are not available to cover any additional costs (uniforms, equipment, tournaments, etc.) unless registration fee includes uniforms and/or equipment.
The scholarship committee, which includes the LYFC Board, will consider all complete applications received by the application deadline for any low-income household, with proof of said income. The amount of the scholarship awarded (if any) may be a partial or full scholarship depending on the number of applicants, and amount of scholarship funds available. Scholarships will be awarded one per registrant and are only valued for one sport at a time, therefore, individuals must reapply for each sport in which they are requesting assistance. Scholarships are limited to two (2) per age group, per sport and awarded on a first come first served basis with the limitation of one (1) scholarship per household. For multiple player low-income households, the payment plan option can be exercised.
