Warren Scholars and Rising Stars are programs aimed at recognizing youth accomplishments in rated chess and providing training and camaraderie-promoting activities. Recently a program called Rising Star Candidates have been added with separate qualification criteria.
If you believe your child qualifies, please complete this inquiry form. All Warren Junior Scholars, Rising Stars, and Rising Star Candidates must be scholastic members of the ICA. There are no additional costs to be included as a Scholar, Star, or candidate-- although participation in some events will incur a fee. Current participants need not complete the form.
