Grants

United Heroes League has paid over $500,000 in grants to help with local registration fees. There are strictly only two grant seasons. One in the spring and one in the fall. Grant forms will be available August 1st for Fall and March 1st for Spring. Many service members are in a “reserve” status until they are deployed, and have been affected by the economy like everyone else. This is a great way for United Heroes League to say THANK YOU to the families who give us so much. Note* Our grants are not a guarantee, as much as we would love to give grants to all who apply, we simply do not have the means to do so. When we make our selections, you will be notified if you were selected or not. Who is Eligible?
