SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

IVY LEAGUE YOUTH SPORTS ACADEMY SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Ivy League Youth Sports Academy (ILYSA) may grant registration fee scholarships to student athletes who without this financial assistance would not be able to participate in our program. Because of the physical, mental, and character-building benefits of ILYSA programs, we want to give every girl in our community the opportunity to join our village. Scholarships cover the cost of registration and those items specifically listed as included in the registration fee.  Any other costs of participation are not covered. The scholarship committee will consider all completed applications received by the program registration deadline. If awarded, scholarship amounts may vary based on the number of applicants and scholarship funds available. Scholarships are limited to one per registrant for a single program session, therefore, individuals must reapply each time their student-athlete registers for a program and requires assistance.   

ILYSA is a non-profit organization with a limited amount of funding for scholarships. No guarantee of assistance is implied in this application.  

    • Athlete must be in grade 4th-8th and reside within the Omaha community.  

    • Commitment to attend a minimum of 80% of scheduled practices and games.  

    • Participation by an adult family member in at least 2 hours of voluntary service to ILYSA during the program session. Volunteer work will be under the direction of the ILYSA Directors. 

    • Participation by an adult family member of at least 10 hours of community service and/or online life skills education to strengthen our village. 

    • Session registration and scholarship application must be completed by a parent or guardian with all requested information provided by the registration deadline. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Application and registration links below.
