Thank you for your interest in our Chess Camp Scholarship program!
Please be aware that our scholarships are limited and awarded based on both financial need and the order in which applications are received. For every 15 paid week-long camps registrations, we are able to award 1 full scholarship.
Once we know that we have a scholarship available, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. It can be a slow process with notification as late as the day before the first camp or even after the camp starts depending on numbers. We appreciate your patience in advance.
