To be considered, all information must be received TWO WEEKS PRIOR to the first scheduled practice of the sport you are applying for (submissions are to be made via email – scholarships@syasports.org, with subject line SCHOLARSHIP, FAXED to 703-815-2180  or you may also drop your submission in the locked box outside the SYA office in a sealed envelope – the office is located at 5950 Centreville Crest Ln, Centreville VA).  All applications are treated confidentially and are reviewed by the SYA Scholarship Committee.  Once your application is reviewed, the decision will be sent to you by email. 

All applicants, if approved, are required to pay a minimum registration fee of $75.00 for any sport (Travel sports are different and applicants will be notified of minimum payment requirement).

If you do not qualify for a Fairfax County scholarship as noted above, but need financial assistance, you may additionally apply for financial aid through SYA, using the Financial Aid Addendum below. The addendum will enable you to provide the Scholarship Committee with more detailed information about your current and/or ongoing financial hardship for consideration.  All deadlines noted above, still apply for this process.
