## Central Valley Scholastic Chess Association ## Scholastic Chess Program Grant Chess is proven to enhance analytical thinking, concentration, and focus, which can positively impact students' academic performance. The Central Valley Scholastic Chess Association (CVSCA) is committed to making chess more accessible to students throughout the Valley, particularly in schools serving low-income communities.
To support this mission, the CVSCA is offering a grant to schools (with priority given to schools in lower-income areas) to help establish a chess program. The grant will provide funding for chess equipment, instructional materials, and support for faculty/staff teaching the basics of chess.
Our goal is to create a sustainable, long-term chess program, so the school must demonstrate the ability to provide a dedicated staff member, hold regular chess club meetings, and engage in CVSCA tournaments.
For up to 12 students (with potential for additional support for larger groups): > - Chess boards and pieces > - Chess instructional demonstration board with pieces > - Access to CVSCA instructional materials and scholastic curriculum > - Support from CVSCA instructors for students wishing to participate in state-level tournaments > - Communication with CVSCA coaches for guidance and questions > - Occasional instruction from CVSCA instructors via Zoom or in-person sessions Requirements from the participating school/chess club: > Faculty/staff member designated as chess club coach/advisor > The coach will be responsible for recruiting students, coordinating with CVSCA, ensuring attendance, and leading tournament participation.
> Participation in CVSCA tournaments > Students and coach must attempt to participate in at least one of the CVSCA tournaments – there are usually 5 per school year. > Weekly chess club meetings (September – March) > Start date is flexible, but regular meetings are required to build a strong program. We look forward to helping bring a new chess program to your school and welcome your application for this grant.
