sports scholarships in australia for international students This College Student Receives Financial Aid For Playing Video Games (HBO)

University of California, Irvine, pays freshman James Lattman $5,160 per year in financial aid to play a video game called League of Legends.

Competitive video gaming is big business, with the global market valued at $893 million. This fall, UC Irvine became the first public university to grant scholarships for eSports in an attempt to tap into that market.

So far, UC Irvine has recruited five players to receive financial aid through the eSports program, with plans to expand to 10 players. The university spent $250,000 on an arena where the team will compete.

Lattman spent three years playing League of Legends professionally after graduating high school. He decided to give college a try when he heard about the scholarship.

There are already dozens of college teams competing in eSports leagues, but Lattman said he’s ready for even more competition.
