The KCFC Executive Board of Directors approved a scholarship fund to assist cheerleading families with financial need with the cost of registration.  In order for your scholarship request to be considered, the application must be completed in full and submitted prior to the established deadline.

KCFC Finance Committee will review, approve or reject all requests. In making its decision, the committee may request additional information, a personal interview or both. All requests will be kept confidential by KCFC and its designees.

The 2026 scholarship application will be available March 1-June 1. Please apply for the scholarship prior to registering so that you can receive a coupon code to use at checkout. Registration fees will be required to be paid at the time of registration beginning this year.

There is a separate scholarship application form for football programs.

Jennifer DeFranco

Sometimes we meet someone special! Their smile captures your heart! They cherish life! That was Jennifer DeFranco, who was 15 years old when she passed in a fatal car accident in April of 1998. She was special, she touched many lives with her outgoing personality, and she was always happy! Cheerleading was a big part of her life. Jen was a “flyer” and loved to be on top of the pyramid! This $300 annual scholarship was established by her former teammates to assist a girl who would like to participate in cheerleading.

To apply for the Jennifer DeFranco Scholarship, please complete after downloading the application and submit to the office.  Note that K-3rd grade applicants may submit a short video (3 minute maximum) in lieu of writing an essay!

Scholarship Application will be available March 1-June 1.  Deadline for Submission: June 1, 2026.

Congratulations to Isabelle Meadows and Charlotte Rivera as the 2025 scholarship recipients.
