~ FAQ’s:
- The scholarship program was established to assist families of baseball and/or softball players with financial hardships. For players that meet the eligibility requirements, registration fees for the season in question are paid fully or partially by Canyon Lake Little League.
- Scholarships are neither permanent nor automatically renewed every year. Scholarships expire at the end of each season. Requests for scholarships must be made in each season. Applications must meet the scholarship eligibility requirements.
- In financial hardship cases, a scholarship may be requested for each child in your family that wants to play baseball or softball. The Scholarship Committee will examine the needs and make a decision on the scope (full or partial) of the scholarship award(s).
-If you have been given a scholarship in the past or present that does not prevent future scholarship requests. The circumstances (financial hardships, etc) noted in the request are evaluated with every request (re-evaluated if it is a repeated request). The scholarship eligibility requirements still must be satisfied in all cases.
-All scholarships are judged on their own merit. Depending on the circumstances, the scholarship award may be full or it may be partial. The Scholarship Committee will make that determination.
-If your child currently participates in any type of travel/club baseball team or is taking private baseball lessons of any sort they are not eligible for a scholarship. If a scholarship is granted and the league finds out they are involved in any of the above the scholarship will immediately be revoked and you will be expected to pay the league in full for their registration fees.
