Blackbear United does offer financial assistance in the way of scholarships. All scholarship awards are the final payments so players awarded a partial scholarship are expected to pay any upfront fees and actively participate in fundraisers. Players ages 14 - 18 are asked to work their scholarship off (at $10 per hour). To submit a scholarship request fill out the appropriate information on your registration form.

Online Payments Accepted - Blackbear United will accept credit card payments for all fees including Discover, Mastercard and Visa. Families who pay their balance up front receive an "early bird" discount.

Players selected will be asked to confirm roster spot, send in the required non-refundable deposit, and read/sign the player/parent contract (see registration form).
