Financial Aid

Eastshore Alliance FC provides a need-based financial aid program to help cover club program registration fees. The financial aid program does not cover uniforms, personal equipment, travel, lodging, apparel or other miscellaneous expenses. Each year the club budgets a set amount to support the financial aid program, but this does not guarantee that all applicants will receive support.

Testimonials

  • Sophia - Eastshore Alliance FC Player

    “I began to play recreational soccer early in elementary school. Over a few years, I gained confidence on the field and began to fall in love with the sport. I wished I had more practices and more games - it was never enough! I grew so excited about playing that I wanted to try out for a competitive team, even though my parents were concerned about the cost because I'm one of several children. They let me try out, though, and I got in! I was so excited and then even more excited to move onto an even more competitive team this year! EAFC granted me financial aid, which made it possible for me to keep pursuing my love for soccer, and I'm having the time of my life. Thank you EAFC!”

  • Eastshore Alliance FC Parent

    “… Thanks to the financial aid program, the path ahead seemed less daunting. It made financing my son’s soccer journey feel attainable and lifted a significant burden… The impact of your club on our lives has been nothing short of remarkable…”

  • Eastshore Alliance FC Parent

    “The EAFC family has not only nurtured my daughter's soccer technical skills, but has nurtured her love for the sport, on and off the field. EAFC coaches and staff provide vital player feedback and encouragement throughout the season and it helps my daughter build on her strengths and improve on her weaknesses. Without the financial aid program our family would not have been able to pay for this valuable program. My daughter not only gets weekly training by dedicated coaches, but college prep seminars and workshops that build confidence for her future.“
