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.
 

Contact Melanie below to apply.  You can apply for funding even if you have already paid us for the program.  Get your application in before 1/1/14.

COVERED COSTS
The program will cover the cost of registration and equipping your child (approx $250) for this upcoming season.   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.
