Awards Given Out:

*Susan Polgar All-Star Jacket
*Special All-Star Certificate
*Invitation to the exclusive and
intensive Susan Polgar All-Star
Girls' Training Program

Any girl who is within (approx.)
100 points from the criteria on
the left MAY apply for special
exemptions to attend this exclusive
training program. (Special exemptions
will be determined by the Polgar
Committee based on special
circumstances).

There is no stopping any young
female player from qualifying for
another award such as the Trophies
Plus All-America Chess Team.
They can qualify and accept either
award or both; it is entirely up
to the players who earned it.
Therefore, we are not excluding
any individual young female
players. This is a non-profit
initiative to help the USCF
and young female players in
the United States. Girls are
dropping out of chess at
an alarming rate. We need to
reverse this trend before we
can expect to produce large
numbers of good female players.
The Susan Polgar Foundation is
fully committed to this goal.
