Our mission at Anthracite FC is to provide accessible and high-quality competitive soccer opportunities for youth, regardless of their financial background. We are excited to have instilled a financial aid program in our first season as a 501(c)(3) club.

This program is being funded by fundraising activities designated specifically to support scholarships and not coming from club dues or general operating funds.  Please understand that funds are limited, and submitting an application does not guarantee any financial aid. We use the federal income eligibility guidelines as they pertain to free & reduced price meals to determine eligibility. To ensure objectivity and confidentiality, qualification and fund distribution will be done by a committee made up of outside Board Directors. 

If you would like to apply for financial aid, please download the AFC Scholarship Application linked below and fill out the in its entirety. Once complete, please send to soccer@anthracitefc.org.

NOTE: THE FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION WINDOW IS CLOSED FOR THE 2025-26 SEASON.
