AMSC Chris Michael Dhume Memorial Scholarship

Aberdeen Matawan Soccer Clubs offers annually an opportunity for current or former AMSC players who are graduating seniors -- and who played on the Matawan Regional High School’s soccer team during the fall of their senior year, to apply for our one-time scholarship; the AMSC Chris Dhume Memorial Scholarship. 

Chris Michael Dhume played recreational and travel soccer with AMSC for many years.  Chris was also on the Matawan Aberdeen Middle School and Matawan Regional High School soccer teams and additional area travel teams.  Chris was a top goal scorer at MRHS, scoring 13 of his 28 goals during his senior year. Unfortunately, Chris passed away due to bacterial meningitis at age 17 on January 22, 2011.

Chris had a true passion for the game and earned the admiration and respect of his teammates, coaches, teachers, and spectators. To those who had watched Chris play soccer, he exemplified skill, determination, sportsmanship, dedication, hard-work, and strength.

This scholarship was named in honor and memory of Chris Michael Dhume.
