FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM (Davie
Residents Only)
We now offer the opportunity to register your kids via a
financial aid plan that is sponsored by the Town of Davie.
This program is coordinated by the Housing and Community
Development Department under the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG). It’s basic intention is to provide
financial assistance to Davie residents (only) who can
demonstrate their needs via certain required documentation.
Applicants would need to submit a simple two page application
along with either a copy of their last FPL bill or telephone
bill. Additionally, the Town is currently asking to see if
your child receives a “free or reduced lunch” at school.
This might become an optional requirement at a later time.
 NEW
FUNDING FOR 2010
The program has received new funding for fiscal 2010.
Contact Glenda below to apply. You can apply for funding
even if you have already paid us for the program.
COVERED COSTS
The program will cover the cost of registration ($75-$180
depending on grade) and equipping your child (approx $200) for
this upcoming season. If your family household
income in under $61,000, you will be eligible to enroll in this
program pending the above mentioned documentation is approved by
the Town. Once you complete your application, you will need to
call the (Town) Housing and Community Development Department in
order to make an appointment with a grant specialist to review
your documentation. It usually takes approximately one
week for the Town to review and approve your application
(pending all requirements are met).
If you meet all of the requirements for financial aid, the Town
will issue a payment directly to the Davie Youth Lacrosse
Foundation, Inc. on behalf of your child. There will be NO
payment made to the applicant’s family.
MULTIPLE PLAYERS
If you have more than one child that you’d like to register, the
maximum number of children for scholarships (per family) is four
(4). Also, the household income threshold is higher
should you elect to enroll more children. You can
call the telephone number below for the exact household income
allowed based on the number of children you are enrolling.
