Penny Arcade Announces Scholarship!

[Annette]

The guys at Penny Arcade are right up there with Brad Wardell on our list of most-admired people in this industry. They've recently announced the Penny Arcade Scholarship.

Gabe posted earlier this week:

Essentially if you want to go to college with the goal of eventually ending up in the game industry, well we want to help. Starting in 2007 we’ll cut one person a year a check for $10,000 in order to help them realize their dream of working in the game industry. As Penny Arcade has grown over the years we’ve always tried to remember the words of old Uncle Ben. “With great power comes great responsibility”. We have the greatest jobs in the world and we only have them because of the video game community. We feel a huge responsibility to give back as much and as often as we can.

They say they'll be posting the details and a downloadable application soon. Very cool!
