Sony Online Entertainment is sponsoring a $10,000 scholarship to encourage women in the field of video game development. If you’re currently enrolled in an undergraduate program related to video games, you should check this out!
Applications are now being accepted for the 2009 G.I.R.L. (stands for Gamers In Real Life) Scholarship to help educate and recruit more women into the field of video game production and design. Sponsored by Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) a global leader in online gaming, and administered by Scholarship America®, a leading non-profit educational support program, applications are available at https://www.scholarshipamerica.org/gamersinreallife and more details, including official rules for entry are available online at http://www.station.sony.com/girl/.
What’s included in the prize?
- $10,000 to be applied toward tuition and other educational expenses at the school at which the student is currently enrolled
- An optional paid internship of up to 10 weeks at Sony Online Entertainment’s headquarters in San Diego, California (room, board, transportation and living expenses not included), to work on the upcoming online video game Free Realms™
Sometimes I wish I was still in college, because there are so many new and interesting opportunities in the computer/tech/gaming fields now. I might have chosen to major in something other than biology, although I loved my program, too.
If you’re eligible for this scholarship, visit the G.I.R.L. site for all of the details, and submit your entry early. Let me know if you win! Good luck!
