[game_edu] IGDA Scholarships to GDC Europe Are Open | Scholarships to E3 Due March 24th

[Molly Proffitt]

Calling all Educators and Student Advocates,

Applications to be an IGDA Scholar at GDC Europe & Gamescom 2015 are now
available! GDC Europe will take place 3-4 August and Gamescom from 5-9
August, 2015 in Cologne, Germany. Students from undergrad to PhD programs
interested in going into the games industry are eligible for this
opportunity.

Here is information you can share with them:

-----

The IGDA Scholarship Program is a 14 year old program that kick-starts
careers of the best and brightest students entering the games industry.
This program awards scholarships to select individuals who apply.
Scholarship winners will receive:

· Conference Passes to GDC Europe & Gamescom.
· Mentorship: A veteran, industry mentor assigned to the scholarship
recipient based on the field of his or her study. This mentor meets with
them during the conference, helps them network, and maintains a
relationship with the student throughout his or her career.
· Studio tours: In 2014 students toured DoubleFine, 3 Rings, DICE LA,
Insomniac Games, and Gree as part of their IGDA Scholarships. Our program
works hard to ensure students receive studio tours at each conference
experience.
· Booth Tours: This is usually specific to E3 and Gamescom. As part of this
students get to play games and meet with developers one on one. During
Gamescom 2014, students met with Lewis Brown from EA about how to get into
industry, spoke with Tim Symons from Nintendo Europe about publishing with
Nintendo, sat down with industry legend Don Daglow, and received special
access to the Sony Press Conference.
· Q&A Sessions: We invite students to speak to veterans in private
sessions. In 2014 our GDC Europe & Gamescom scholars had the opportunity to
speak with industry luminaries including Brenda and John Romero, Oculus
Product Lead Joe Chen, and Microsoft Tech Evangelist Lee Stott!
