While I was at work the other day I had a coworker inform me that he heard about a girl gamer scholarship that I might be interested in checking out. So as soon as I got home from work I got right into researching this unbelievable scholarship.
What I found out was that yes there actually is a scholarship that is being awarded to female gamers. It is sponsored by National Computer Camps and WomenGamers.com (click on the individual links for additional information about either sponsor).
"The $925 scholarship is being offered to two girls aged 8-18, and will enable the girls to enjoy the forerunning technological experience offered by the National Computer Camp," as explained in an article on Opposable Thumbs website (click on the link to read the full article).
By creating this scholarship people involved with the video game industry hope to tap into an untapped market. They hope to interest some of the female gaming community to share with them their fresh new ideas and concepts for video games.
