Every committed player deserves the chance to grow, compete, and belong—regardless of financial circumstance. The Fusion Fund provides needs-based scholarships so cost isn’t the reason a player can’t step onto the field.
Confidential: Scholarship applications are reviewed with care and discretion by the Vermont Fusion Board.
Why We Offer Scholarships
Soccer changes lives. Scholarships help remove financial barriers so players are defined by their effort, teamwork, and love of the game—not their ability to pay. This program strengthens our club, our community, and the player experience.
Aligned with Our Core Values
- Community: We widen the circle so more players and families can participate.
- Integrity: We steward funds responsibly and review applications fairly and confidentially.
- Growth Mindset: We back players who are committed to learning, improving, and supporting teammates.
- Dedication: We invest in consistent effort on and off the field.
- Accountability: We communicate clearly and honor the trust of families and donors.
What Scholarships Can Cover
Awards vary based on need and the specifics of each application. Support may include:
- Reduction of club fees
- Limited assistance for essentials (e.g., gear/equipment, travel support) when available
Note: Award amounts are tailored to the situation. We do our best to help where support will make a meaningful difference.
