My son Dario has been fortunate enough to be offered a football scholarship in America and is preparing to go there in the fall this year (End of August). This is undoubtedly an incredible opportunity for him and I will do everything I can to support him. However, despite him being offered a scholarship it doesn’t cover the full cost to study, and live there for the duration of his degree, and still requires that we contribute a fair amount for him to undertake this opportunity. On average $14K Per Year.
I am a single mum of three, and we have no contact with his father. I have taken on additional work to be in a better position to afford this, but it will still be a massive strain on me and my finances. I am therefore doing everything I can in terms of fundraising to help ease this pressure a bit. I have now set up this Crowdfunding page and will organise various fundraising events and activities over the next 6 months and throughout the next two years of his degree.
I am however, hoping to find a life-angel; a company or individual who is happy and willing to sponsor and support Dario. This will relieve the burden of financial worry and allow Dario to concentrate fully on his football and studies for his degree.
Unfortunately, the available grants and funding in the UK does not apply to students wishing to study Overseas, and many who do, will not fund for soccer/ football programmes.
