Exactly how is 2,000$ a year going to help someone playing Starcraft while studying?


Think about it this way, that scholarship money can go towards living expenses you'd otherwise have to work minimum wage to earn (or close to it) while going to school. Time not spent working some dead end retail job = more practice hours.


All right. Well. I guess stuff is cheaper in the US, because 2,000$ here in Denmark, if you're a student living alone, is something which you can barely live for in one month, if you work 6-7-8 hours a week, so.. if this was in Denmark, it really wouldn't make such a big difference, but I guess you can live longer/better for 2,000$ in USA.

What is a semesters tuition at a public university in denmark? I go to one of the most expensive universities in the US and it would still cover like 10% of my tuition. Which is basically what I would get covered if I worked a minimum wage job for 20 hours a week.


All education in Denmark is free, from the best Universities to the "baddest".

So you literally just get paid $1100 a month for going to school? And your only expenses are housing and food? That's pretty wild man, absolutely not similar to the experience of a typical American University student.


Yes. Well.. yea, I also have expenses like internet, cellphone, tv and such. But yes, if I would, I could live for only the governmental support which I get from studying.

EDIT: We have to pay for our own books, which is really the only thing which isn't free at danish university educations.

lol wat tt
my tuition for a quarter is over $3k. wish I got paid to study lol

I might e wrong but isn't there certain conditions like they get paid to go to school but there must be some obligation after to stay in the country I'm pretty sure they don't just pay for your educatiOn and let you just leave right after

No. High School grades are not relevant here.

Xeris, you are again and always an extreme nerd baller.

I love this 100%. Isn't this not the first eSports scholarship though? I remember seeing something at the last Redbull LAN where Walshy gave a scholarship to a student. I remember him saying that he wasn't able to go to college himself but how cool it was that he could help someone else do it.

Err, unless I'm doing my math wrong, you pay $20K a year. That's nowhere near "the most expensive" for a university in the US. Even per semester (for a total of ~$40K a year, that's still on the lower side of expensive). Most of the top schools cost around $50K, though they'll make excuses like X percent receive Y amount of financial aid.

If you're including a scholarship, then that would be worth mentioning. For example, in my case, my school costs ~$55K on paper, but I pay a bit under 20 with merit scholarships (or otherwise I wouldn't be here).

Of course, there's a whole bunch of good to middling schools which are much cheaper, or will actually pay you to go there given you're good enough.
