$1,000 AGF Scholarships Available

Applications are open for the American Go Foundation's College Scholarship, through November 20th. The program  recognizes high school students who have served as important youth organizers and promoters for the go community.  Applicants who have started clubs and promoted go in areas where there is not a strong go community will be given special consideration, strong players who spend much of their time voluntarily teaching will also be considered.  There are two scholarships available, one for a male student and one for a female.  Last year no women applied, so only one scholarship was awarded.  Read about last year's winner here, and former winners here.  For more information, and the application form, visit the AGF Website. - Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.
