Applications Open For AIAS Scholarships
The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has a handful of scholarships up for grabs, created to honor the memory of Randy Pausch and Mark Beaumon.
The Randy Pausch scholarship is comprised of two $2,500 awards, and is given in honor of his work as the co-founder of the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University. The funds are intended to support students specializing in art, animation, programming, engineering, game design, sound design, and music composition in the game industry.
The second set of scholarships also includes two $2,500 awards in the memory of the late COO of Capcom North America and Europe, Mark Beaumont. The areas of specialization required to apply include business, law, marketing, and public relations.
“The AIAS Foundation is pleased to continue supporting students who are pursuing a degree and career in interactive entertainment,” said Martin Rae, president, Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. “Randy Pausch and Mark Beaumont made a huge mark in their respective fields, and we hope our scholarship recipients will do the same one day.”
If looking to apply for either of the funds, you must boast a GPA of 3.3 or higher, qualify as a full-time student, and attend an accredited college in the US during the 2011-2012 school year. Applications can be downloaded here. The final deadline for consideration is June 30, 2011.
Best of luck to any aspiring developers who enter the running!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
