Financial Assistance In order to make youth soccer as widely available as possible to families in the Fairbanks-Northstar Borough, FYSA provides financial assistance to families in the form of multi-family member discounts on registration and need-based scholarships for registration fees. Funds for scholarships are provided by FYSA and FYSA sponsors. Funds are limited and we cannot guarantee that a family will receive a scholarship or discount. A separate application must be filled out for each player registered.

Discounts FYSA will provide a 10% discount off all registration fees for families registering more than one child in FYSA season-long youth soccer programs (clinics and small-child programs exempted). To qualify, the youth players must share at least one parent or legal guardian. The 10% reduction will apply to all items of an equal or lesser value to the highest cost registration automatically. This discount will only apply if you register both children in the same transaction. This is applicable to U6 and up.
