As described just prior to the start of class, here is the text of an email received yesterday regarding the E3 Scholarships being given by the International Game Developers Association:

“The IGDA is pleased to announce that we are now taking applications for Scholarships to attend E3. The deadline for applications is 2 April.

The Electronics Entertainment Expo is one of the most important events of the game industry’s calendar, as one of the largest trade shows. Students will get an opportunity to see the AAA marketing machine up close, as well as get some behind-the-scenes insight into how it functions. As with all our scholarships, we will also provide successful applicants with mentorship from established industry professionals as well as the opportunity to tour local studios and meet developers. Applications are based on a series of very short mini-essays, and will be judged by a panel of experts drawn from across the industry.

The scholarships are an excellent way for students to kickstart their career, by being selected as one of the “best and brightest” of those studying topics related to game development around the world. We would greatly appreciate your help to spread the word around relevant institutions, chapters and other groups.

Thank you,

Heather M Decker-Davis

On behalf of the IGDA Scholarships Committee”
