Scholarships

[Thomas Valentino]

Hey everybody, Colleges and Universities offering scholarships should post related information here. Let me know if you have any questions.

Can 26 year olds get scholarships or is it strictly a young man's game?

You'd probably be surprised by the number of folks long out of college who are going back for coursework or advanced degrees. Gaming programs are the fastest growing area in academia and the games business is beginning to appreciate them. Additionally, the business side of the business always values MBAs, JDs, PhDs, etc.

It's our hope to be as supportive as possible of the colleges and universities because of the above, but also because we're getting so much interest from students interested in becoming ECA members and even starting up ECA Chapters. So having a reciprocal relationship with the school is mutually-beneficial and the high tide raises all boats. :)

Ya can you guys compile a list of bad companies handing out degrees, got a friend who wants to start some courses around here, a list of good and bad would be great for those seeking game based degrees, I know the BBB can be helpful sometimes on finding bad companies but if you guys could complie a list that would help more I would think.

Collage is not a option for zippy I don't have the money,I might have some skill but my disability neutralizes whatever skill I have ><

I'm not quite sure if this a right place to ask but I'm looking for a University in America that have PHD courses in Gaming technology or PHD in Wii.

I hope someone know which University have those courses.

We're not familiar with any scholarships which pertain specifically to the Nintendo Wii, but given NOA's close working relationship with Digipen, it wouldn't surprise us to find that they had something.
