The Entertainment Software Association's ESA Foundation has established a $45,000 scholarship program for women and minority applicants pursuing a career in videogame development.
The program was designed to assist women and minority students whose fields of study support videogame development, such as graphic design, computer science, animation, and programming. Scholarships are awarded each year for full-time study at accredited four-year colleges and universities.
"We hope these scholarships will encourage students to pursue careers in this growing and lucrative field," said Michael Gallagher, president and CEO of the ESA. Full time undergraduates can apply online for one of the program's fifteen $3,000 scholarships until May 15th.
