Beginning this week, we are implementing a new bursary program at the Mississauga Junior Chess Club. We wish to encourage our juniors to consider tournament chess beyond just our chess club. Upon completion of each junior tournament (every 6 weeks), we will award 6 bursary prizes of $10 each. The bursaries can be redeemed solely to pay entry fees to the Ontario Youth Chess Championships (OYCC). The bursaries are not redeemable for cash.

Winners will be chosen based on performance rating, attendance, and keeping an accurate game record. The program will generate a fund of about $500 per year (less in the first year) to support the OYCC and CYCC programs.
