Junior Player Scholarships

SCHOLARSHIPS FUNDED BY INLAND NW KLASSIC (INK)

 

The Inland Northwest Klassic (INK) tournament is hosted in April and is the major fundraiser for the Junior Scholarship program. To support the fundraiser encourage your team to participate!

Since 2010, INK has provided over $150,000 in need-based scholarships to ERVA players. 

Our goal is that a Spike2Care scholarship be your last step in fundraising your club expenses. We also look to provide assistance when sudden financial problems strike families.

To maximize our ability to help deserving athletes we ask you first make use of:

  • Scholarship programs within your club, and
  • Fundraising opportunities within your club and/or team, and
  • Sponsors within your community of friends, family and businesses within your community

SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:

 

For players who are playing for a club with substantial travel expenses or team fees it is not possible for S2C to meet a substantial portion of a travel club’s team fee.

We usually have more than 75 applicants and try to help as many athletes participate in club volleyball. A cap on dollar amount may occur to make funds available to more applicants.

  • Be a current member of a USAV club in good standing within the Evergreen Region.
