CCFC Youth Senior Scholarship Award Application
The CCFC Youth Senior Scholarship Awards were established by the Board of Directors of Piedmont Soccer Alliance in 1987. The purpose is to recognize and honor players of Carolina Core FC Youth who have excelled in area high school soccer and plan to attend college.

Three, one-time scholarships could be awarded this year to area high school seniors by the CCFC Youth Senior Scholarship Committee. The three scholarships are: The Kenny Potts Memorial Scholarship, the David Upchurch Leadership Scholarship, and the CCFC Youth Senior Scholarship. If the CCFC Youth Senior Scholarship Committee deems applicable, additional CCFC Youth scholarships may be awarded.

All applicants shall have played on a Carolina Core FC Youth (formerly PTFC) competitive soccer team for at least 3 years and through their junior year of high school. A one-time grant will be made to the chosen institution to defray the cost of tuition or room and board at an accredited school of higher learning. Winners will be chosen on the basis of academic achievement, service to school and community, and leadership in interscholastic and competitive league sports.
