The Maddie Potts Foundation was established in November of 2017, less than 2 months after Maddie's sudden death on the Chariho soccer field of an unknown brain aneurysm. Maddie exemplified all attributes that a student athlete should possess. She always led by example, and dedicated her free time to helping her teammates, fellow art students and all others around her to be the very best they could be. She stood up for and reached out to new students/teammates that were not as likely to be able to stand up for themselves.  The Maddie Potts Foundation was founded in order to carry on Maddie's legacy of kindness, compassion, hard work, inclusive leadership and perseverance, aka Maddie Mentality. 

The Maddie Potts Foundation will present two $1,100.00 scholarships this year. The criteria for these scholarships and application is attached.

The cover sheet must be attached to your application and returned to your school counselor by 2:15pm on May 8th 2025. No late or incomplete applications will be accepted. A committee comprised of the Potts family members will review all applications and make the final decision in awarding the scholarships.

South County Youth Soccer Club is an important part of the fabric of our community. For a generation or more, through the Club’s competitive (“travel”) teams and recreational (“rec”) teams, soccer skills have been developed, values like sportsmanship and teamwork have been fostered, and friendships have been formed between players, coaches, and families. Central to the Club’s success was always Shirley Testa, who for more than twenty-two years - up to her retirement in 2021 - served the Club in multiple roles, including as its Registrar and Office Manager. 

To honor Shirley’s time and dedication to SCYSC, the Board of Directors renamed its annual scholarship to the: SCYSC Shirley Testa College Scholarship. In addition to SCYSC typical criteria for scholarship winner(s) selection: (your time with SCYSC and playing soccer, volunteerism) we also seek candidates who exhibit similar behaviors and characteristics that Shirley demonstrated and were important to her while she was with the Club.
