SCHOLARSHIP FAQ

  • While Smarter Select (our application platform) is very secure, we do not recommend including your sensitive personal data in any documentation you provide us. Per example, in your tax forms, we recommend you either screen shot the page(s) needed or black out your SSN.

  • No problem, you can submit the two previous years tax forms if your current year tax forms are not filed by the time the application is due.

  • Yes, you can submit as many individual applications as you wish from your account - please be sure to submit a new application for each athlete.

  • Yes, once you open an application for this award you can come back into your application and work on it as you need until the deadline. Your application will be saved in your account and listed under your "My Applications" menu.

  • Please work with your school/teacher to obtain a letter from them stating how we should convert their grading scale to the “standard” (A, B, C, D, F) grading scale so we can them confirm your student’s GPA. You will be asked to upload this letter in the application.

  • Scholarship amounts are determined by your family's adjusted gross income and the amount spent on team, competitions, and/or camps. For example, families in the 40% reimbursement bracket will receive scholarships that cover 40% of what families paid for team, competition, and/or camp fees.

    < $61,600 = 75%

    $61,600 - $106,700 = 40%

    $106,700 - $178,640 = 20%

    > $178,640 = 20% (families of 5+)

  • All MMSST athletes can qualify for team fee reimbursement. There are no age or team restrictions.

  • The only reimbursable fee is the cost paid to MMSST to be a member of the team.

  • No. MMCF does not provide reimbursement for team uniforms or gear.

  • You need to submit your most recent invoice from MMSST. If you are missing your most recent invoice, you can reach out to Pam Lonza to get an updated copy.
