become an Arctic Seagull

An Arctic Seagull Student Athlete is committed to excelling in life, not just in sport.  

Academic achievement, like athletic achievement, is a by product of consistent commitment and dedication. Both can be achieved if you remain goal driven and have fun along the way.  Our Scholarship is designed to help kids prioritize both school and sports.  

The Arctic Seagulls Foundation scholarship is not for everyone.  It does require that the families pay at least 25% of the dues/fees -- we feel that having skin in the game is critical to the success of this program.  It also requires the applicant to commit to achieving goals in the classroom along with on their field of play.   Success in both, or at least consistent effort toward that goal, will help the kids prepare for life.  

Each applicant and parent/guardian must agree to the Terms of the Scholarship.  Funds are limited and must be put toward supporting those that agree to these terms.  To be considered for this Scholarship, each Player and Applicant must certify that they can and will meet the following terms of the Scholarship: 

1. Agree to train at Redline Athletics Denver East 3 days per week; 
2. Agree to conduct quarterly performance testing at Redline Denver East to track your progress as an athlete; 
3. Achieve a 3.0 GPA in the semester that follows receiving this scholarship; 
4. Maintain at least a 3.0 GPA for as long as the player receives the scholarship; 
5. Set a goal of achieving a 3.5 GPA and commit to elevating their GPA to a 3.5 or above;
6. Provide academic progress reports to Arctic Seagulls Foundation as frequently as they are provided to the applicant in order to monitor progress toward the goal, and maintenance of a 3.0 GPA; 
7. Agree to ask for academic support, such as tutoring, when you believe you require it to achieve your academic goals and the requirements of the scholarship; 
8. Agree to pay 25% of the athletic club dues, training fees, and expenses (tournament, travel, etc.) for which this scholarship is directed to cover;  
9. Agree to assist Arctic Seagulls in direct fundraising campaigns that will cover at least another 25% of the athletic club dues, training fees, and expenses (tournament, travel, etc.) for which this scholarship is directed to cover; 
10. Agree that the Scholarship may be revoked if the applicant fails to achieve and maintain a 3.0 GPA as required in Paragraphs 1 and 2, or fails to provide Progress Reports as required in paragraph 4; 
11. Agree that the Scholarship may be revoked if you fail to pay 25% of the athletic club dues, training fees, and expenses (tournament, travel, etc.); 
12. Agree to remain in good standing with your schools, club teams and school teams with no suspensions; 
13. Agree to sign and abide by the “BE BETTER, GET BETTER” Pillars as attached to this application;
14. Agree to have each of your references author a letter of recommendation on your behalf and in support of your application;  
15. Agree that you understand the scholarship may be terminated at any time at the discretion of the Arctic Seagulls Foundation in the event of insufficient funds; and 
16. Agree to apply to college following high school graduation.  

Arctic Seagull Student Athletes do have to join Redline as we believe the workouts provided on a daily basis provide the best means to achieve our collective goals.  Currently, a Redline Membership is $199 a month, a rate that will be discounted for Arctic Seagulls Scholars.  Ultimately, the Arctic Seagull Student Athlete will pay 25% of the membership dues per the terms above -- or about $45 a month.  The remainder of the fee will be billed to the Arctic Seagull Foundation.  

Your support is exceptionally helpful and necessary.  Donations will be requested from those that can afford it.  We appreciate sponsors that are like-minded -- lets get these kids the tools to achieve.  Our planet will need them!
