Scholarships
Northeast Youth Hockey Association (NYHA), in a partnership with the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Junior Knights is proud to provide limited funding to qualified young hockey players to assist with costs associated with the sport of travel hockey on both a merit based approach as well as a financial need based approach. These funds will be used to pay the organization directly for your player’s participation in travel hockey.
WHO CAN APPLY?
Young people ages 8-18 years old that are playing travel hockey at Revolution Ice Centre and are seeking financial assistance with youth travel hockey tuition.
The financial need based program is available to low-income families with children who would like to play ice hockey for the WBS Jr. Knights. Scholarship applicants must prove a financial need by completing the attached scholarship request form.
The merit based program is available to players based on their sports performance. Merit-based scholarships are not only limited to a player’s hockey abilities, but will consider the player’s grades, and also other factors such as team leadership roles, extracurricular activities and school or community involvement.
Over the past six years, the WBS Knights have sent 57 players to continue their playing careers at Division 1 college and universities including Big 10, Ivy League and the National Collegiate Hockey Conference and 120 players to continue their playing careers at Division 3 colleges and universities.
