Dear Bear River Junior Bruins Families,
In light of challenging economic circumstances facing many families, Bear River Junior Bruins recognizes the potential need for assistance to participate in football or cheerleading this season.
To support families in our community, we are pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of scholarships. The deadline for scholarship applications is July 1st, 2024. Unfortunately, we cannot consider applications received after this date, as scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and demand is expected to be high. Therefore, we encourage you to submit your application as early as possible.
THE FINE PRINT:
Once you have submitted your application online, it will be reviewed by a small committee on the board. If your application is approved, scholarship funds will be awarded upon receipt of two checks made payable to Bear River Junior Bruins as a sign of good faith:
- $250 Volunteer Check
- $162.5 for a Half Scholarship or $325 for a Full Scholarship
Both checks will be returned at the end of the season provided that the following expectations are met:
- For a Half Scholarship, 15 hours of volunteer work must be completed.
- For a Full Scholarship, 20 hours of volunteer work must be completed.
NOTE: Failure to complete the required volunteer hours will result in both your registration check and volunteer check being cashed at the end of the season. If fulfilling volunteer hours presents a challenge for your family, please indicate this in your application.
Additionally, please be aware that the BRJB scholarship covers registration fees only; uniform costs are not included if you are approved for a scholarship.
We hope that these scholarships will make participation more accessible for all families in our community. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
