Scholarship Information:

Based on family income, scholarships are available for players competing on Challenge and Advanced teams.  When awarded, scholarships cover one half of the player's membership fees.  Parents are still responsible for region fees, uniforms, tournament travel costs, and other expenses related to playing on a club volleyball team. Please remember that all families who receive scholarships are required to complete volunteer hours throughout the season, along with all families involved in the Iowa Heart Volleyball Association.

To be considered for a scholarship for the 2008-09 seaon, each interested family must present a completed "Iowa Eligilbility Application" to the board prior to November 24, 2008. There will be no exceptions to this rule. All scholarship applications will be held in strict confidence.

This form, which is used by the Iowa school districts to determine status for free and/or reduced lunches, is available at your child's school or at the link below.
