I went to the IGDA web site and noticed a link on GDC scholarship. The IGDA's Education Committee will award 25 scholarships to send qualified students to the 2002 Game Developers Conference. The GDC is where game development professionals from around the world gather to share ideas and build the skills that the industry needs. Located in San Jose, California, this year's GDC will be held from March 19-23, 2002.
