Frank P. Samford, Jr. Chess Fellowship
The FRANK P. SAMFORD, JR. CHESS FELLOWSHIP, marking its twenty-ninth annual award, has selected Grandmasters Samuel Sevian of Southbridge, Massachusetts, and Kayden Troff of West Jordan, Utah, as its 2015 Fellows. The Samford is the richest and most important chess fellowship in the United States. It identifies and assists the best young American chess masters by providing top-level coaching, strong competition and access to study materials. The Fellowship also supplies a monthly stipend for living expenses so that the winners may devote themselves to chess without having financial worries. The U.S. Chess Trust has supported this event since its inception. Tax-deductible donations are accepted, earmarked for the event.
