[game_edu] ESA Foundation Computer and Video Game Scholarship Program

[Erin Hoffman]

Ian -- it's a little out of date, and brief by necessity, but I wrote
an Escapist article on the community college game curriculum scene:

I think overall what this indicates is that the ESA scholarship is a
great first step when it comes to scholarships being awarded for game
studies, but there are other branches of study that could also use
specific attention.
