Dear Game Education SIG Members,

The IGDA and the IGDA Scholarship Committee are delighted to announce that
the 2016 IGDA Scholarship Program is kicking off with applications for the
Game Developers Conference (GDC) in 2016. The program is open to all
students and recent graduates in fields related to game development.
Applications should be submitted by *15 December 2015*, please see
http://scholars.igda.org/ for further information.

GDC will take place 14-18 March 2016 at the Moscone Center in San
Francisco, USA. The world's largest and longest-running professionals-only
game industry event features over 400 lectures, panels, tutorials and
round-table discussions on a comprehensive selection of game development
topics taught by leading industry experts. Awarded to the best and
brightest students in game development disciplines, the IGDA Scholars
program gives recipients an unforgettable experience including an
all-access pass, industry mentorship, and local studio tours.

IGDA Scholars in the past few years have had incredible opportunities above
and beyond the awarded event passes as part of our program, including
private Q&As with industry luminaries such as Jenova Chen, Brenda and John
Romero, and Kellee Santiago. They've also toured game studios such as Zynga
and Double Fine Productions and made connections with their mentors and
fellow Scholars that last well after the conferences.

You can learn more about the program, its history and find out how to apply
at http://scholars.igda.org. Please help us spread the word about this
excellent opportunity for students from around the world by following and
retweeting us on Twitter @IGDA_Scholars <https://twitter.com/igda_scholars>.
