They use the words "fully funded" twice in the first two paragraphs...so my guess would be yes.
Wow. Did they use up all of their coaching money on scholarships? Hardly flagship staff?
How about 03 and 04?

I heard only about 24-25 showed up and half were wearing Galaxy shirts. Not sure if it was invite only or if they just had a low turnout. Maybe they already know who they want and are just being very selective on who was invited.
From what little I have seen or heard about, it seems that most clubs have an idea of who they already want, and those are normally already in-house. I don't think that is what US Soccer was planning. Time will tell.
Weren't they publicly posted open tryouts?

No there were open application collections on-line for almost a week until capacity was meet. From those apps some were invited to the various ID sessions on the dates noted.

....and another well kept secret!
22-24 players, mostly Galaxy, with Slammers, Blues, and Beach attendees. This could be an opportunity to stay off the 405 South for some. It will be interesting to see what the fully funded label is able to poach!
