The Syracuse Educational program is intended to benefit the Players, Staff, and legal dependents of the MLS Clubs and League office. Thus, only those groups that are employed by the actual MLS League and Club entity would be eligible for the Syracuse benefit. ​

We recognize that some Clubs may have a shared support or shared services relationship with a larger parent organization. In those cases, we would look to see how your organization formally and legally defines, or delineates, the MLS Club entity from the larger host parent organization. Please have your HR representative reach out to Education@MLSSoccer.com to learn more.
