Amazing Wins & A Chess Scholarship Fund!
Hey ChessKids! Get ready. We have some exciting new events coming up, but first, let's highlight some of the amazing ChessKids we have & introduce a big scholarship opportunity!
IM Levy Rozman ("GothamChess"), a popular chess streamer with over 1 million subscribers on Youtube, recently announced a scholarship opportunity where he will give away $100,000 to chess programs in United States schools!
"I have always considered chess as the great equalizer — no matter where you come from, or how fortunate of a financial situation you grow up in." - Rozman

His goal for the "Levy Rozman Scholarship Fund" is to support competitive school chess teams by taking care of the finances for training, tournament fees, and travel expenses.
"I hope this Scholarship fund is able to raise the floor and the ceiling of scholastic programs. Students without resources will be able to learn and compete without worrying about financial stability, and the strongest students will be able to fully commit to achieving their goals using the highest quality lessons available." - Rozman

As part of each winning schools' grant, ChessKid and Chess.com will include memberships to further support Rozman's mission.
