Hi,

What schools offer chess scholarships?

I did a quick internet search and found the following schools:

University of Maryland, Baltimore County

University of Texas at Dallas

University of Texas at Brownsville

Webster University

Lindenwood University

Are there any others out there?

On a slightly different note, which schools have active chess clubs with regularly rated tournaments or tournaments within easy commuting (walking or public transportation) distance?

Sorry, I'm not an expert in TX chess, but Schulenburg looks like a pretty small town with only one public high school (Google maps).  I wouldn't expect it to have a chess club.  Since Schulenburg is between San Antonio and Houston (90 minute drive to either city), a school in one of those cities would probably have a chess program.  Otherwise, take internet chess lessons (or from chess.com) and have him compete in tournaments in the larger cities withing driving distance.  Austin is another city that's about the same distance, too.
