The AYSO Region 1103 Scholarship started as the Ruth Grafft AYSO Scholarship. It is awarded to a high school senior that has shown sportsmanship and citizenship through volunteering. Ruth enjoyed watching her grandchildren play soccer. She attended as many matches as she could. She was able to see the great things that AYSO promotes, such as sportsmanship and the power of volunteering. Ruth passed away in December of 2015 from ovarian cancer. Ruth’s family hopes that whoever receives this scholarship continues to be a great role model for younger children and volunteer in their community. At the behest of the family, the name of the scholarship was changed in 2020.
AYSO Region 1103 is proud to be able to offer, on an annual basis, the AYSO Region 1103 College Scholarship. This scholarship will be offered on a yearly basis to one or more AYSO Region 1103 Alumni. Applicants should be in their final year of High School and must have applied to a college or university for the upcoming school year. One or more applicants will be selected by the Region 1103 Regional Board, from the applications received by the entry deadline. The Finalist will be announced in early May and the scholarship will be presented at the AYSO Region 1103 Soccer Slam Tournament.
