NCJLA Team Scholarship Application – 2014 Season
NCJLA Team Scholarship Program Goal
The NCJLA strives to eliminate barriers to growing lacrosse in Northern California. Providing financial
support to member clubs, particularly those serving low-income populations, is consistent with the
NCJLA’s values as an organization. This program will work to that end, specifically by targeting clubs and
teams from areas where financial issues may otherwise hinder that growth. In addition, to help offset
high start up costs, clubs that are brand new to the NCJLA will also be eligible to apply for team level
scholarships.
Team Level Scholarships
Teams receiving an NCJLA scholarship will have 90% of their team registration fees waived and 50% of
their officials’ fees per game waived for the 2014 season. On average, these scholarships will amount to
approximately $1,000 per team, depending on the division. Exact awards will be determined by the
NCJLA Scholarship Committee.

official’s fees for the season.
