Sponsor a Scholastic Player

It is our goal to provide free USCF memberships and subsidies youth registration fees to ensure no children are excluded from chess for financial reasons. 100% of donations through this link are reserved for supporting our scholastic program.
Increase the Prize Fund
Due to our limited budget chess association prizes are paid out of registration fees and are limited to the registration fee of the event. Generally 2x the fee for first place, 1x the fee for second place.
