FINANCIAL AID

Financial Aid

OBGC is proud to offer eligible families in our community financial aid  scholarships to participate in our House Programs. This aid cannot be used for  camps, clinics or travel leagues, but for recreational/seasonal leagues only (soccer, baseball, softball, flag football, lacrosse, field hockey, basketball and  wrestling). To be considered, please select Apply for Financial Aid on the final  payment page of registration. OBGC requires a copy of an approved MCPS Free  and Reduced Meals (FARMS) form be sent to us at obgcadm@obgc.com. If you  cannot provide that we will also accept a copy of the front of a SNAP or Medicaid  card for your child. Once we receive a copy of that we will approve your financial  aid request, and you will receive an email confirming this and informing you to  pay your new balance. Financial aid covers registration fees minus $50 per child per house sport each season. It does not cover any fees such as Coaching Staff  Fee or late registration/cancellation fees. The Coaching Staff Fee ($75) is a mandatory once per year charge per family, regardless if you register to  volunteer or not. Once your time has been given to the Club and confirmed we  will refund that back to you (approx. 4 hours). 

If you need to complete a FARMS form for free lunches at school you can do that  through this MCPS link and submit directly to them

NOTE: If you have already provided proof of eligibility for the school year you do  not need to provide it again, we already have you on file and you can register for  aid without delay. 

Your child is not fully registered and WILL NOT be placed on a team until the  balance due is paid in full. This could likely prevent them from playing for the  season if spaces fill up or you miss important deadlines.

Financial aid requests  must be made at least 2 weeks prior to the close of registration for any league. If you do not see it as an option at registration check out it has been closed for the season and full payment will be required.
