Robert from Kenya earns a scholarship in Norway

We are incredibly proud to celebrate the amazing journey of one of our very own, Robert, whose dedication has taken him from Kenya to the lecture halls of the Norwegian Business School (BI) in Oslo!
Robert’s chess skills earned him a scholarship, proving that chess is more than just a sport, it unlocks global doors. He has now officially begun his studies in Digital Business.

With this scholarship, Robert is reimagining his future, gaining the skills to lead and innovate in a fast-changing digital world. His journey from learning the rules to mastering business strategies embodies the spirit of ambition and impact that drives us at Business Meets Chess & Kids. 

We are also thrilled to announce that Robert will now be joining us in-person for our future Oslo events! He will be there to connect, inspire, and show the world what is possible.
This milestone is a powerful reminder of the limitless possibilities that lie within every young person when given the right support, education, and opportunities.
A big thank you to the Chess2Change initiative and our partners for making this dream a reality. Join us in celebrating Robert. Congratulations, Champ, we are so proud of you!
