The video game website, minigames.com announces their annual video game design scholarship program for students in the United States and Europe. The scholarship program is designed to help graduating high school students to advance their tertiary education in game development.Cypress – Minigames.com is an online website launched in August 2000 for individuals all over the world to play free online games from thousands of different game developers. The website offers the best place on the internet to play the high-quality games from independent developers across the globe. Visitors can play more than 30,000 free online flashes, html5, unity3D, WebGL mini-games, and new games launched every single day on the website.
Minigames.com understands that in order to have more games available for their website users, they need more developers. But developing a game is not a thing that the average individual can do; it requires a lot of education, learning to code, learning math required in game development, game app development, and learning to be a great game designer. Acquiring the education to create games entails a lot of costs.
To help game developers to offset the costs of education incurred to design the best games, the management of Minigames.com has set up an annual scholarship program to select and award one of their game developers each year.
Applications for the Video Game Design Scholarship are free. However, the following are the necessary things that make applicants eligible to apply:
Applicants must be graduating high school seniors and students who have been accepted for enrollment at an accredited college or university in the United States or Europe.
