Since it says Xeris will be donating and not CSL as an entity, does this mean it's out of pocket or..? Is shindigs disqualified from this since he's part of CSL? Assuming he has a 3.5, I'd imagine he'd be easily one of the most qualified for this. It's out of my pocket. One day CSL will have money and it won't have to be out of my pocket (I hope). And ya, while Tim is an awesome candidate - he's graduating Scumbag Xeris Announces GPA requirement after my GPA plummets from ESPORTS | ||

...not only strong academically, but are also leaders in the gaming world... I can't help thinking that these two requirements are mutually exclusive. More practice time, less time to study. More study, less time to practice... | ||

Well the money is very limited so a demanding set of requirements makes sense. It's a scholarship, not charity ;\ | ||

That would kind of defeat the purpose of a scholarship... Also, I imagine that students involved in ESPORTS on an organizational level would be free to apply as well. The Rosen twins (organizers of Lone Star Clash) would definitely be solid candidates for this kind of scholarship. | ||

This is actually not a skill based scholarship - nowhere in it does it say you need to be a top level player. This is first and foremost, a scholarship that rewards leadership. | ||

Well, in the end we have to accept some people are super smart and can have the best of both worlds. I gave up SC2 during the schoolyear for grades. I figured I could only be good at one or the other at a time. (Good thing too, double labs is killing me, and wtf did I think pre-med/pre-bus was a good idea?) :/ | ||
