AcadArena Partners With Gaming Organization 100 Thieves For Creator Scholarship Grants

AcadArena is offering full ride scholarships to aspiring content creators and gamers attending CONQuest Festival 2023 on June 2 - 4 at the SMX Convention Center and Conrad Hotel. The said scholarships – part of the AcadArena Scholarships & Aids (ASA) initiative – will be sponsored by 100 Thieves content creators Valkyrae and Fuslie.

The lucky few to be chosen for the creator scholarship grants (which are worth up to PHP 180,000 for a full year) will also get a chance to meet their favorite 100 Thieves creators live on stage at CONQuest Festival 2023.

Per AcadArena's website, the ASA initiative has three scholarships including Valkyrae's Homecoming Scholarship and Fuslie's Scholarship for Women in Gaming:

The ASA initiative includes three scholarships that cater to different student demographics. One of which is the Valkyrae's Homecoming Scholarship, which will be available to Filipino students who possess a passion for playing games while effectively managing their academic pursuits. This scholarship aims to celebrate Valkyrae's much-awaited return to the Philippines. Three (3) awardees will receive a full ride scholarship worth PHP 180,000 and a meet and greet with Valkyrae.

Another scholarship is Fuslie's Scholarship for Women in Gaming, which is geared towards empowering female students in the gaming space. The scholarship aims to encourage more female gamers in leadership positions, assist in giving a voice and platform to those speaking up against harassment, and promote an inclusive and equitable gaming industry. Two (2) awardees will receive a full ride scholarship worth PHP 135,000 and a meet and greet with Fuslie.

Applications for Valkyrae and Fuslie's scholarships are open to students from Grade 12 to Undergraduate College and will be accepted until May 22, 2023.

Awardees will be announced on May 26, 2023 and on-stage awarding will be on June 4 at CONQuest Festival 2023.
