Burke AC and Fairfax County provide registration fee scholarships and/or a Fairfax County provided equipment voucher to help children participate in county sports programs.  If you qualify for the school lunch program or other public assistance, you may qualify for the Fairfax County Sports Scholarship program.  To take advantage of the scholarship program you must follow these steps:

First you must register your child as a scholarship player.  When fall registration opens, you will be able to click here to acces the sports scholarship registration page.  Fall registration will open in June.  Scholarship registraiton will be accepted until the end of on-time registration on July 31.  There will be no access to scholarship registration in August during late registraiton. 

Second you must submit a completed and signed  Fairfax County Youth Sports Scholarship Program Application (pdf document) to Burke AC, at PO Box 11311 Burke VA 22009 within 15 days of registration.  This signed form will act as your payment of  the registration fee.  Once the signed form is received by Burke AC, we will mark your child’s registration paid and your child can then be placed on a team.  Your child will not  be placed on a team until this form is received.  

Third - all applications must be submitted to Burke AC  no later than Aug 15.  Fairfax County has changed the way that they adminster the scholarship program.  Each club must now submit ALL of their Fairfax County sports scholarship application forms together directly to the county at one time.    In order to allow the county time to process these forms before the season starts,  we will be submitting our scholarship batch by Aug 17, 2008.   The County will only process one batch so we need to set a deadline that will allow Fairfax County time to process these applications and mail out vouchers before the season starts.  If for any reason Fairfax County does not approve your scholarship application, you will then owe the registration fee to Burke AC.  You will need to pay this fee before your child can play.
