Scholarship Information for Middle School Sports:

AEF provides scholarships for middle school students who need it. We want your student to be able to play! Scholarships are given based on the following criteria:

  • Student/family is enrolled in a food assistance program – 90% scholarship
  • Student/family qualifies for assistance under the McKinney-Vento Act, Alameda Point Collaborative, or similar program – 100% scholarship
  • For parents or guardians requesting assistance but who are not covered under the above conditions, please contact AEF at aefsports@alamedaeducation.org

To request a scholarship for your student, please click here and fill out the online form.

Upon completion of the application form you must scan/email proof that your student is enrolled in a food assistance program. The scholarship will not be approved until proof is received. You must send documentation within 48 hours of completing this form. We will not follow up and ask for the proof -- it is your responsibility to get this to us. Please scan or take a good photo of the documentation and email it to aefsports@alamedaeducation.org.

2023-2024 Girls Basketball Championships

Congratulations to Encinal Jr. Jets and Lincoln Lions clinching the the DII and DI Championships, respectively. This was a great year for AEF girls basketball. Five middle school teams competed: Academy of Alameda, ACLC/Nea combined, Encinal Jr. Jets, Lincoln, and Wood. All 5 made the playoffs and 3 made the championships. There was great improvement from all teams over the course of the season. In fact, DII champions Encinal came from barely having enough girls for a single team last year, to winning their division this year and planning to add a second team next year!
