IGDA Student Scholarships for GDC.

Hi guys!

Happy new year to all. Students who are interested to apply for GDC Scholarship please read email below. A few years back, I had a student who got the scholarship, unfortunately, IGDA announced late and he was unable to get a VISA. So it would be best if you already have a US VISA / US Passport. Just a heads-up.

Cheers!
