VYS annually awards two scholarships in the amount of $2,500 to high school seniors looking to further their education whom have participated at the club. This one-time scholarship will be awarded based on the applicant's involvement in the club over the years, their application, supporting information, and required essay.

Applicants will need to complete the registration through PlayMetrics. Students must have their own player profile through their parent's/guardian's account. This will allow them eligibility to apply.
In order to complete your registration, you will need electronic copies of your transcript and personal essay (prompt available during registration) ready to upload. There is also an optional field to upload a recommendation letter, as we are aware not all recommendation letters are submitted by the applicant. Keep in mind, this is a REQUIREMENT to be selected as a recipient and is the applicants responsibility to ensure the club receives all necessary items for consideration.
VYS Seniors
In addition to our scholarship program, VYS also honors all graduating seniors each spring (players, referees, coaches, and volunteers alike) for everything they've given to our club and community. We wish each of them the very best in all their future endeavors, and we hope they'll stay connected to the game and to Vienna Youth Soccer for years to come.
