Financial Aid

Foundation IX is no longer accepting grant applications for the 2010 volleyball season.

There is a possible opportunity for some of our participating families to receive financial assistance with club activity fees for next year, 2010. This opportunity involves the Foundation IX “Let Me Play” participation grant.

This program was created to eliminate cost as an obstacle for girls who wish to participate in sport or organized fitness activities. Minnesota girls ages 5-19 are eligible to apply. Each application will be screened by a Foundation IX representative prior to going to committee to assure that each application reviewed by committee is complete and valid. The amount of money to be granted to an individual girl is not to exceed $1000. The amount and number of grants awarded each session will be determined by the number of qualified applicants and the amount of funds available.

If you would like to look at their website, select the link below. The grant application can be found at the link below or under the Grants heading on the Foundation IX website. It is the sincere hope of the JO Board that this program may provide some financial assistance to our participating families that struggle to make JO participation available to their daughter/s.

If you have any specific questions regarding the Foundation IX grant program, please email White Bear Volleyball board member Kim Bocklund.

If anyone knows of any other community resources or programs that can help make participation in our club affordable to all, please contact any Board member with that information.

Note regarding the mentor required on the application:
The job of the mentor is to oversee the application process and to provide support to the girl in her activity.  The mentor cannot derive personal financial gain from the girl receiving a grant or be paid by the organization providing the activity for the girl; e.g. an owner of a for-profit business or paid coach of the team. Immediate family members are disqualified from serving as a coach/mentor or advisor in this application process.  Immediate family member is defined as: biological parent or individuals who act as parents including children who have been legally adopted, foster children, stepchildren or are legal wards.
