This section contains answers to some of the more frequently asked questions.
Is the information I provide you kept confidential? If so, how?
Absolutely. All information supplied and access to it is limited to the small Scholarship Review Committee (the League President, Secretary, and Treasurer, a VP may be the 3rd person if the Secretary and Treasurer are the same person). The information is not shared.
Why was the scholarship program established?
The scholarship program was established to assist families of baseball and/or softball players with financial hardships. For players that meet the eligibility requirements, registration fees for the season in question are paid fully or partially by East Lane Little League.
Once granted, is the scholarship permanent? In other words, is it renewed every year automatically?
Scholarships are neither permanent or automatically renewed every year. Scholarships expire at the end of each season. Requests for scholarships must be made in each season. Applications must meet the scholarship eligibility requirements
Is there a limit on the number of children in my family that I can request a scholarship for?
No. In financial hardship cases, a scholarship may be requested for each child in your family that wants to play baseball or softball. The Scholarship Committee will examine the needs and make a decision on the scope (full or partial) of the scholarship award(s).
If I asked for and was granted a scholarship this year, is my family eligible for scholarships in the future?
Any scholarship(s) awarded in the past or present do not prevent future scholarship requests. The circumstances (financial hardships, etc) noted in the request are evaluated with every request (re-evaluated if it is a repeated request). The scholarship eligibility requirements still must be satisfied in all cases.
Is my son or daughter guaranteed a full scholarship?
All scholarships are judged on their own merit. Depending on the circumstances, the scholarship award may be full or it may be partial. The Scholarship Committee will make that determination.
What do I need to do to get a scholarship?
Fill out the ELLL scholarship form in detail citing family circumstances that explains the need of a scholarship.
What does the scholarship cover?
Registration fees for all divisions of play.
Who do I contact if I have questions?
Contact East Lane Little League with questions.
How long does the review period take?
Up to 14 days. In most cases, the Scholarship Review Committee may complete its review in less than 7 days, but may contact you prior to scholarship approval with any follow up questions they may have.
