GDC Student Scholarships

The IGDA has awarded 25 scholarships to send qualified students to the 2009 Game Developers Conference. GDC is where game development professionals gather to share ideas and build the skills that the industry needs. Located in San Francisco, California, this year's GDC will be held March 23-27, 2009.

"Attending GDC was everything I had expected. What the IGDA provided through the mentor program, introductory luncheon, and [studio site] trip set this conference experience apart from all of the other huge conferences I have ever attended." - Eric Webster Brown, 2006 Scholarship Recipient

"I highly recommend that anyone who is working towards breaking into the game industry attempt to attend as many GDCs as possible – the networking alone is worth the trip, and the diversity of sessions will keep all flavors of game developer interested well past the conference's end date." - Matthew Raymond Billock, 2006 Scholarship Recipient
