The Silas Yi Goalkeeper scholarship was created by the Yi Family and AHFC to honor Silas’ passion for soccer, and more specifically his love for goalkeeping. In loving memory of Silas’ ambitions and spirit, the Yi Family wish to pay it forward by providing financial assistance to one boy and one girl goalkeeper within AHFC.
The goal is to provide financial assistance to families in need, but all our goalkeepers can apply. We understand there are other circumstances and factors impacting our families and will consider these instances in the selection process.
The Yi Family will review applications and select one (1) boy and one (1) girl to receive Silas’ Scholarship. The scholarship will be applied to the recipient's AHFC 2024/25 club fees.
The application requires personal information along with a short essay to provide additional insight as to how this scholarship will help your family. All goalkeepers requesting financial assistance are encouraged to apply via AHFC’s Financial Assistance program as only one boy and one girl will be selected to receive The Silas Yi Goalkeeper Scholarship. All applicants and our recipients will be notified of their status at the end of June.

Tilley is a 10 year old soccer enthusiast who is going into her third year of play. She grew up watching her big sisters play and now is patiently teaching her baby sister all the skills she has learned. Tilley has a big heart, she loves chatting with elderly people wherever we go and is always a friend and protector to those with special needs. She loves animals and art and dreams of playing soccer someday in college. I explained the significance of this scholarship and who it is named for and it brought her to tears. We pray that she will make Silas' family proud and honor his memory. We are truly thankful from the bottom of our hearts. God bless the Yi family.
Landon has been an avid soccer fan and player since he could walk. Growing up with 2 siblings who also played, his life was surrounded by the sport. He is passionate about goalkeeping and constantly is looking to do his best, even if it means making his dad set up a training net in the back yard! This coming year he will be a junior in high school and will be working on getting his pilots license alongside his coursework as well. After he graduates, he plans on entering an aviation program where he can gain experience and become a commercial pilot. Landon looks forward to the ways he can continue to learn and grow both as a person and a player in this upcoming season.
