The memberships will be channeled through coaches and parents who coordinate and organize chess programs in the schools. Each school program is eligible to receive a maximum of 10 scholastic memberships. The Free Membership Program, in addition to providing assistance to underpriviledged kids, is one more incentive for coaches to generate and organize chess activities at the schools. Coaches are encouraged to send a list of qualified kids, with a cover letter that includes a brief description of the program.
