Our scholarship program is a very important aspect of our organizations goal to further the game of baseball for our youth. We want to see every young ballplayer get the opportunity to learn or continue playing baseball even when financial hardship affects a family.

Each year, pending financing, with Board approval, BYBA will allot a designated amount of scholarship funds to sponsor ballplayers that are in need of financial assistance. The money awarded will be used to cover standard registration fees.

The criteria used to evaluate and ultimately award scholarship funds will be based off of provided financial data and an applicant essay. Neither will hold a more significant value than the other; however both are required to be considered for nomination and subsequent award. The BYBA Board of Directors will review only fully completed applications and provide some form of communication back to all applicants. BYBA expects each scholarship participant and family to maintain good sportsmanship, leadership and citizenship through team play.

All information will be held in strict confidence by the BYBA Board for sole purposes of determining qualification need for the scholarship program. Interested applicants should complete the scholarship application online. Persons applying for scholarship funding must provide an essay of 500 words or less to qualify.

We ask that the parent(s) or guardian of the player make a commitment for their child to attend all practices and games and they provide or arrange timely personal transportation for the youth. BYBA staff consists of volunteers who have necessary obligations outside baseball as you do, therefore getting your children to and from league functions on time is very important. Additionally, scholarship families may also be required to volunteer time for the season or the scholarship and any future playing opportunities may be forfeited.
