Scholarship Support
Many Game Design students receive scholarship awards or financial support, offering them the stability and safety to concentrate on groundbreaking ideas expressed through technology. Many of our students are the first generation among their families to attend a four-year college, and scholarship support helps to broaden their opportunities to find work in the field. Visit our Scholarship page to learn more about the scholarships awarded through the program.
As a student majoring in Computer Game Design and minoring in Animation, I have always strived for excellence. As such, receiving this scholarship is a continued sign that I have been doing my best and living up to the standards I aspire to....To have been awarded this scholarship is a significant boon for all my endeavors to come, as it puts me one step closer to achieving them.
