The 2nd Scholarship Chess Tournament which is mainly sponsored by the Golden Gate International College offers NPR 2,500,000 (USD 25,000) in college scholarships each year to 10 players from the Open (Boys) and the Girls Sections.
This initiative, now in it’s second year, is a huge contribution to making college education more available in Nepal and which of course also attracts students to play chess!
This year the Open (Boys) winner was Sudip Tamang and the Girls winner Anisha Neupane, both students from Pioneer Public School, and they happily claimed the full scholarship.
There were a total of 122 players in the Open (Boys) section and 32 players in the Girls section. The Chief guest was Mr. Ramesh Silwal, CEO of Golden Gate International College and he distributed the prizes.
