At SF Seals, we strive to provide playing opportunities to youth soccer players from all economic backgrounds. We dedicate significant amount of our budget for scholarships to families who demonstrate need.  In addition to scholarship guidelines set by SFRPD for 50% and 100% scholarships levels, SF Seals may provide additional scholarships from 25% to 100% based on demonstrated need of scholarship applicant's family.

The Scholarship Application is due with the Deposit or Initial Payment which will be refunded if the player does not accept the scholarship offer, if any.  Please have a copy of your most recent IRS 1040 or parents' Pay Stubs for the application.  You must upload supporting documents to qualify for aid.  Application processing time will vary and can take up to two weeks.  Scholarships are not retroactive.  Click on the Scholarship Application Link below to submit your application.
