RRIV Scholarship Program
Red River Infinity Volleyball Club is committed to providing volleyball opportunities for all girls who are interested in the sport regardless of financial ability to pay. It is our policy to provide financial assistance to applicants who request it, whenever possible. The intent of this policy is accomplished by setting fees at rates affordable to the majority of residents in the Red River Valley area, and by providing financial assistance for those for whom the Red River Infinity Club fees are not affordable.
In addition to providing scholarships, RRIV encourages parents who need assistance with travel to contact your Team Parent Rep. They can help reach out to other team families who are often able to provide a ride and possibly accommodations for players who are not financially able to travel. If no Parent Rep is assigned or you prefer to work with a Board Member, please contact
RRIV SCHOLARSHIP POLICY SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES:
- A parent or legal guardian of a participant who qualifies for free/reduced lunch program or Department of Health and Human Services Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF Emergency Fund) program may apply for a scholarship for financial assistance of registration fees. You must submit a copy of your qualification letter with your scholarship application. When an applicant is receiving free or reduced lunch, it is evidence of the person’s low income and inability to pay RRIV fees.
- If you feel that you have a situation not covered in the above situation and you need help paying for your fees, please fill out an application explaining your situation.
- Eligibility for our scholarship program does not guarantee that you will receive assistance. Funds are limited and will be distributed as available on a discretionary basis to those who qualify.
- Scholarships are limited to a maximum of ONE per player per registration period, for a maximum of 2 per player per year.
- Scholarships only apply to the player registration fee. Required volunteer hours and additional expenses related to travel expenses (food, lodging, transportation) and fundraising are not covered by scholarships. All fees above and beyond the registration fee are the responsibility of the player.
- Scholarship funds will be awarded based on the financial need of the applicant and availability of funds
