The Northshore Youth Soccer Association believes that the skills and friendships we make on the field will last a lifetime, but we also understand the importance of learning in the classroom.  In 1993, NYSA started a local scholarship program that awarded two scholarships to high school seniors who participated in our youth program.  Today the NYSA Dave Shipway College Scholarship grants two $1000 college scholarships and two $500 college scholarship to deserving high school seniors in our service area. The Scholarship is awarded by our Scholarship Committee that reviews all applications and selects the recipients.. 

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Applications are accepted from High School seniors who plan to enter an accredited institution of higher learning during the next 12 calendar months. Any college applicant who has participated in a NYSA program as a player at any level is eligible for the award. The Committee has also traditionally considered the applicant's contributions to and participation in the NYSA referee program in the final decision.  
 
HOW IS THE DECISION MADE?
The College Scholarship Committee is typically made up of representatives from several NYSA clubs and the referee program. These individuals review all properly completed applications and select the candidates that they feel have had the most positive involvement within NYSA.
