While scholarship criteria vary by institution, most varsity programs require athletes to have a GPA of 2.5 or above. Because esports scholarships are sometimes partial or paired with academic scholarships, having strong grades and test scores might help you obtain additional funding. For example, the University of Nevada, Reno offers full athletic scholarships to students who participate in at least one intercollegiate sport. This means that even if a student decides not to continue playing that sport, they still receive their full tuition payment. The same school requires that gamers have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher to be considered for an esports scholarship. There are many other factors that go into determining if you will be awarded a scholarship, such as how much money your parent(s) can contribute, their relationship with you, etc. The best way to find out if you qualify is to apply directly through the institutions website. If you aren't given information on applying for scholarships, it's best to contact the program directly to find out more.
