Scholarship info:
*We are seeking donors to help provide the funding for scholarships for competition team fees at this time. As we receive donations through individuals and community partners, we plan to offer scholarships to athletes who could use a little extra assistance in meeting the team fees. It is a very important goal of KGE to make our team sport accessible to all athletes and families regardless of financial ability to pay. However, there are costs associated with being on a competitive travel team and funding is needed to cover those costs. If your family could use a scholarship, please fill out the scholarship wait list form below to put your name on a wait list so that when we receive funding, we may contact you. There is no guarantee of a scholarship and no guarantee that it will be for this upcoming season.
