Support the Howard University Chess Team at the HBCU Classic

Hi everyone! We’re the Howard University Chess Club, and we’re gearing up to compete in the 2025 HBCU Chess Classic on April 12th! This is a major opportunity for our team to showcase Black excellence in chess and represent Howard and all HBCUs on a national stage.

Unfortunately, travel, registration, and competition costs add up quickly, and our school can’t cover everything. As one of the few HBCUs with a competitive chess team, we’re determined to break barriers and prove that Black minds belong in elite chess spaces—but we need your help to get there!
