BETHESDA SOCCER CLUB SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Through the years, The Bethesda Soccer Club Scholarship Fund has been specifically dedicated to providing financial support to local youth who would ordinarily not have the opportunity to play travel soccer. In 2021, the club received over 100 applications for our Scholarship program. While the club provided over $120,000 in scholarships to players and their families, there is still room for improvement. The average scholarship awarded only covers approximately 40% of a player’s annual club dues.

About the Bethesda Scholarship Fund:

The Bethesda Soccer Club (BSC) was established in 1979 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The club proudly serves over 1100 boys and girls across 80 teams, starting with our juniors program at age four through our high school seniors.

BSC provides an environment that promotes disciplined young leaders and athletes with lifelong skills while offering world-class soccer education and competition. While the club’s most recognizable moments may be its national championships and other outstanding on-field performances, its most important contributions could be the opportunities it provides its scholarship athletes every season.

Through the years, the BSC scholarship fund has been specifically dedicated to providing financial support to local youth who would ordinarily not have the opportunity to play travel soccer. For many of our scholarship athletes, their BSC practices and games provide an important, scheduled after school-activity encouraging them to be involved and productive members of a community. Time spent with coaches and fellow players who value them affords the scholarship athlete a chance to excel as a leader and teammate while providing a physical fitness outlet. For some, their BSC experience becomes an essential element of their profile on the path to college.

The challenge to support our scholarship athletes grows every year:

  • The list of BSC scholarship applicants continues to grow yearly, eclipsing 100 verified applications in 2019.
  • The average household income of those scholarship applicant families continues to drop yearly.
  • And in 2019, the average scholarship awarded by BSC only covered 40% of that player’s annual club dues.

We can all work together to impact these troubling trends positively. We hope that with the money raised from our 2020 BSC Scholarship Gala, we can fully endow 2020's Scholarship Fund. This will allow even more deserving players a productive, after-school activity, the opportunity to be a part of a competitive team, and the chance to play the beautiful game of soccer.

As a supporter, you’ll have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on young people in our area by providing the financial resources necessary to build champions on and off the soccer field.
