FC Dulles has a limited amount of funds set aside for scholarships to players who cannot afford tuition fees for our TRAVEL ACADEMY program. These scholarships are need-based and are dependant upon income and household size (see chart below). 

Scholarships are awarded based on family income and dependents. The maximum amount of award is 25% off tuition. Scholarships will NOT cover all player costs and tuition. Costs not covered include uniforms, additional practice t-shirts over two included for the year, Fairfax County field user fees, credit card fees, player's personal equipment, any outstanding balances, and the remaining balance of tuition not covered by the scholarship award. Our goal is to provide the youth in our community who want to play soccer the opportunity to do so. Scholarship funds are limited and will be awarded on a first come first serve basis. 

FC Dulles does not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, color, creed, religion, sex, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, and gender identity in acceptance of one’s scholarship application.
