[Editor's note: we apologize that the lists do not render particularly well on mobile devices. The template we have been using for awhile is flawed and we hope to upgrade in the near future. Your membership and dues -- in addition to supporting the Scholars and the Stars programs -- will help support improvements to the award-winning website!]
The Warren Junior Scholar Class of 2016-2017 is listed below, followed by the class of the Rising Stars below that. In-person activities are planned both upstate and downstate with additional opportunities through online vehicles.
Congratulations to all the qualifiers. For those not on the list, don't despair. If you hit certain thresholds during the school year, you may be invited to participate in various training events with an official designation coming with next year's class. For complete details, refer to the WJS pages of this website.
If you find your name on the list, please confirm your interest in participation with Scott Daniels who is coordinating the programs. In the email, please provide your name, your grade level in school, the month and year of birth (but please omit the day), your USCF ID and your city of residence. If you want to throw in your school (or home schooling status) along with a principal's email address, that would be great too!

Warren Director Scott Daniels adds, "The player lists was pulled together in a time-consuming, volunteer-intensive process, using multiple dates, files, and tournament results over several years.
"In the future, it is hoped that the ICA gathers information in a much more coordinated fashion as it modifies its bid guidelines and updates its systems.
