We once posted a well-received blog article “Large Scholarships Lead to College Degrees and Careers in Video Gaming: eSports” and it introduced our audience to the growing popularity of video gaming degrees/programs. The current forecasts estimate the video gaming industry to be worth $268 Billion USD by 2025 worldwide, according to Statista.
Are you thinking about attending one of the best video gaming schools? We will reveal the list later but now we would like to introduce three scholarships for Video Game Design.
Please note it is not just those who are excellent in designing video games to obtain the scholarships. Let take The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences as an example. Its scholarship recipients can be those who are interested in game development including but not limited to: art, animation, programming, engineering, game direction, game design, sound design, law, marketing, and business administration.
AIGA Worldstudio Scholarships
AIGA Worldstudio Scholarships benefit underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students who are studying photography, illustration, and design disciplines in colleges and universities in the United States.
