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 Volunteer Opt Out Fee or late registration/cancellation fees. The Volunteer Opt Out 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 https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application.

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 will not be accepted the final week of registration for any league so if you do not see it as an option at registration it has been closed for the season and full payment will be required.
