WMLL SCHOLARSHIP COORDINATORS
The first step in the process is to read this webpage to see if you think you might qualify and are interested in scholarship assistance. Once you have determined that you want to seek scholarship assistance, please contact WMLL’s President, Jerry Schmitt, at [email protected] to get setup with a scholarship coordinator who will walk you through the program and application process. At any point along the way you will be able to work with your scholarship coordinator to answer any questions you may have.
T-Mobile, a partner of Little League, may have a Call Up Grant Program to help families in need pay their Little League registration fees. They typically accept applications starting early to mid-January.
Qualifying families in the past have received an electronic debit card worth $150 from the T-Mobile program to use toward little league registration. In these cases, WMLL will cover the remaining portion of the registration fee for a net $0 out of pocket to families
WMLL SCHOLARSHIPS
As indicated above, if a family qualifies and receives a $150 debit card from the T-Mobile program the remaining portion of registration fees are covered by WMLL.
If a T-Mobile Call-Up Grant is not received, WMLL also provides "WMLL-Only" scholarship support to families needing financial assistance to pay registration fees. In this case, families will pay a reduced rate of $90 for spring/summer season or $60 for fall season with WMLL covering the remaining portion of registration fee.
It is with the support of WMLL Sponsors who donate money to the WMLL Player Scholarship Fund that we are able to offer these programs.
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for a WMLL scholarship and/or T-Mobile grant, a family must qualify for a financial assistance program such as BadgerCare, FoodShare (Wisconsin's SNAP), Medicaid, W-2, WIC, etc. Your scholarship coordinator will work with you to determine eligibility.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
WMLL considers special requests for financial assistance from (1) families who need support but do not meet WMLL scholarship eligibility requirements & (2) families that are unable to make the minimum scholarship payment.
