Financial Assistance Program Guidelines and Application 2011-2012

 

Goals:

a. Primary: Provide hockey exposure to young players who otherwise may not have the opportunity to try the sport at a young age due to financial constraints under the provisions of the financial assistance program.

b. Secondary: Support SAHA players through temporary financial limitations.

 

Financial Assistance Fund:

The Financial Assistance Fund is comprised of financial aide donations and SAHA donations.  SAHA donations are determined at the discretion of the SAHA board when reviewing the annual budget.  Financial assistance does not cover any team fees.  Financial assistance will be granted on a per season basis.  Applicants must reapply each season to be considered for financial assistance.  This is not designed as an annual subsidy, and is limited to 2 years per player.   

 

Eligibility for Financial Assistance:

a. The applicant must be in good financial standing with SAHA and exhibit a general financial need.

b. Preference will be given to those applicants whose families qualify for public assistance programs such as school lunch subsidies, medical assistance and unemployment insurance.  Additional consideration will be given to applicants experiencing long-term hardship circumstances.

c. The applicant will be asked to donate time to help with their financial request by providing volunteer hours to SAHA to help offset their financial needs.

d. The total amount granted will be evaluated case by case and will not exceed the donations. 

 

Application Process:
a. Applicants must submit a confidential Financial Assistance Application (provided below) and provide the name and phone number of a "sponsor".   A sponsor is a person who has knowledge of your current needs and financial situation.  Applications must be received no later than June 20, 2011 to the following address:

 

            SAHA

            Attn: Financial Assistance Coordinator
