Level Up Scholarship
Video games often go underappreciated in our society, with their benefits overlooked despite the skills they can teach.
In addition to teamwork and perseverance, video games can help with social skills, reflexes, and creativity. For exceptional gamers, their skills can even earn them money in tournaments. Many gamers find career inspiration by playing, as there is much to be learned about graphics and design.
This scholarship aims to support students who are avid gamers interested in pursuing fields related to art or programming.
Any high school senior or undergraduate student who is interested in studying programming, graphics, or animation may apply for this scholarship.
