IGDA Foundation Scholarships for GDC are Open

The IGDA Foundation is accepting applications for its IGDA Scholar, Velocity, and Next Gen Leader programs at GDC 2020 through November 29, 2019.

The IGDA Foundation focuses on improving the lives of game developers by making game development a more diverse and inclusive community. We believe that diversity of all kinds in game development leads to better and more successful products and companies, and happier and more successful game developers.

One of the best ways we work to achieve that is through our scholarship programs where we select participants both for their excellence as individuals and for the promotion of a more inclusive industry.

Each GDC 2020 program includes a Conference + Summits GDC pass (thanks to the generosity of UBM Tech Media), as well as a travel stipend and a variety of program specific experiences.
