...not only strong academically, but are also leaders in the gaming world... I can't help thinking that these two requirements are mutually exclusive. More practice time, less time to study. More study, less time to practice... | ||

More study, less time to practice... what throws me off is they want 3.5 gpa (not impossible) they players to be top tier at sc2, plus for them to be involved in the community at the university and public levels. but if you are any decent level of schooling, doing all three is nearly impossible. hell being good at sc2 AND getting a 3.5 gpa in say, a medical degree, is such a time taker compared to doing a community college degree in business. seems neigh impossible for anyone random to win this award, I'm sure the money will go to known players that play for their csl team, and have sponsored team, and have a tons of friends backing them up, inside and outside of the csl. not saying they don't deserve it, just think its silly that the requirements pretty much mean if you aren't playing on a top 5 csl team you have no chance, even though ot may not even be your fault you cannot play in the csl. | ||

Well the money is very limited so a demanding set of requirements makes sense. It's a scholarship, not charity ;\ | ||

That would kind of defeat the purpose of a scholarship... Also, I imagine that students involved in ESPORTS on an organizational level would be free to apply as well. The Rosen twins (organizers of Lone Star Clash) would definitely be solid candidates for this kind of scholarship. | ||

This is actually not a skill based scholarship - nowhere in it does it say you need to be a top level player. This is first and foremost, a scholarship that rewards leadership. | ||

Well, in the end we have to accept some people are super smart and can have the best of both worlds. I gave up SC2 during the schoolyear for grades. I figured I could only be good at one or the other at a time. (Good thing too, double labs is killing me, and wtf did I think pre-med/pre-bus was a good idea?) :/ | ||
