The IGDA Scholars program has been an incredible resource to brilliant
students for the past 8 years.  Historically, the program has been
built around GDC, offering a single studio tour, an industry mentor
for the week, and all access to the event.  This year, we're shaking
things up by announcing 5 additional conferences!  We're hoping that
through close collaboration with the industry, we can make the scholar
experience that much more special.

Our goals include:
Multiple Studio Tours
Industry Mentorship
Event Access
Unique enriching experiences

As an example, below you'll find our 2011 GDC Scholar Schedule .  The
scholars included 8 women and 17 men from 7 nations and 4 continents
