We wanted to share the heart behind this scholarship initiative.
The dedicated parent volunteers from Roshen's Chess Academy have played a huge role in the success of our tournaments, which help raise funds for the Oregon Chess Federation, Portland Chess Club, and HECSA. With around 100 players and 25 parent volunteers at each of our events, the support—especially for our youngest players (ages 6 to 10)—has been invaluable.
In recognition of these amazing efforts, we launched a scholarship program in 2024 and 2025 for the children of parent volunteers. Young players whose parents volunteered with us and who performed exceptionally well at the Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation (OSCF) or Chess for Success state championships in 2024 and 2025 were awarded scholarships to recognize both their achievements and their families’ valuable contributions to the chess community.
