Oklahoma Football Club (OFC)
Scholarship Information
June 2011
 
Dear OFC Parent:
 
The Oklahoma Football Club (OFC) Scholarship Program was developed to provide players and their families the opportunity to receive a scholarship from the club during times of financial difficulty. The program provides scholarship funds to help offset part of the expenses associated with playing soccer. 
 
Scholarship funds may be awarded to help offset the monthly training fees. The Scholarship Program does not offer funds to cover registration fees ($235), uniforms, tournament fees, or other soccer-related expenses. Registration fees will need to be paid at the completion of tryouts.
 
OFC has limited funds available for scholarships. Scholarship applicants must first meet the financial qualifications before being considered for a full or partial scholarship. Scholarships will be awarded based on availability of funds. There is no guarantee that qualified applicants will receive scholarship monies.
 
Scholarship Guidelines:
Household income should be at or below the Reduced Price Meals level per the U.S. Department of Agriculture (see attached chart) to be considered for a full or partial scholarship.
