[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t even know kids so young could get athletic scholarships. This is separate from the financial aid programs many programs have?[/quote]

No, the OP said it’s not a scholarship, it’s financial aid.  No clubs in this area offer talent based “scholarships.”  Unless it’s the DC United Academy.[/quote]
I saw the posts making the distinction between need-based and talent financial aid/scholarship, but I don’t see where OP confirms that it’s one or the other. Most of the responses up to that point seem to take him at his word.

As you said, I didn’t think talent  scholarships for 9u was a thing, and the only club that might do that doesn’t take players that young. Or that there were “elite academies” at that age.

Supposedly the $ offer was verbal only, as was the case for another club that OP later turned down. He specifically stated there was no application. If this was truly the case then I would LOVE to know which clubs because that sounds like the kind of “everyday corruption” that happens in developing countries, lol.

“Does getting a scholarship mean you have to babysit weaker teams” I mean  cmon, either you’re a condescending ass, or your English is pretty good but sometimes you still need Google translate.[/quote]

More clubs in the area do offer scholarships for talented players. They do ask for discretion because imagine if the words get out player x gets a free ride? And clubs/ coaches are willing to work with you if your kid is good kid with normal same parents.
