2006 Pan-Am Scholastic Team Chess Championship:
Scholarship Prize
to University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC)
Winner receives a four-year tuition
scholarship to UMBC (current value approximately $69,416).
UMBC offers the winner of the 2006 Pan-American Scholastic
Team Chess Championship (Scholastic) a fixed-dollar, four-year
incoming-tuition scholarship to UMBC (current value approximately
$69,416). The scholarship will be offered to the highest-finishing
individual in the Scholastic who accepts the award, through third
place. To qualify, the recipient must be accepted to UMBC and
matriculate at UMBC directly from high school. To retain the award,
the student must maintain a grade point average of at least 3.0
(on a 4-point scale) and earn at least 12 credit hours per semester.
If the student has not yet graduated from high school, the award
will await the student upon graduation. The scholarship will last
for up to four years, or until the student graduates from UMBC
(if less than four years). While at UMBC, the recipient must qualify
for and play on a UMBC Chess Team, and contribute to the community
service activities of the UMBC Chess Club. The award covers full
tuition and fees for the first year; in the remaining years the
scholarship continues at that same dollar level. The award does
not include room or board. The award is not retroactive. The recipient
is also eligible to be considered for possible additional awards
(e.g., for room and board, honors program) based on academic merit.
