WHSBLA GRANTS & Financial Aid
- WHSBLA Team Grant
- WHSBLA is offering opportunities for programs to supplement their growth, by taking away a fiscal hurdle. WHSBLA is not handing out cash/ money or a stipend, but rather leveraging their resources to help provide a targeted need for the WHSBLA community. This is designed for programs that are putting systems in place that will benefit their players and families for years to come. Programs with a connected feeder system in which players matriculate into a High School program, will be shown preference.
- APPLY NOW - Due anytime between July 1 through February 1
- The expectation is that this grant will kick start or re-energize a program and should NOT be counted as a yearly budgetary item for a program’s sustainability
- KRAKEN Player Diversity Grant This grant is specific to “Players of Color” looking to break the entry barrier to access the game of lacrosse. Individual players may apply for a player’s grant.
