My 13 year old son has won State Level Junior Chess Championship in India. How I can apply for sponsorship ?

Question

He is natural player and do not have any coach. He is selected from 88 boys all over Punjab State (India). He is brilliant in studies and secured 96.4% marks in 7th standard. In India, there is not much scope in Chess. If he concentrate on Chess, he may hinder his studies. I just recovered from Hodgkin's ( Cancer) and not earning much. I can't afford his Coach fee, boarding,lodging and travelling charges. I really don't know whether any corporate company comes forward and sponsor him. I really don't know how to apply for sponsorship. My e-mail address is coolsukhwin_der@ yahoo.co.in. Can you advise ?

Answer 1

Well, start buy asking the place where he plays chess, or the head of the State Level Junior Chess Championship.  If you talk to one of the "top guys", I'm sure they will lead you in the right direction.

Congratulations for recovering!!!!
