Penny Arcade scholarship open for 2009-2010 photo

The generous folks at Penny Arcade have just announced that their scholarship is now open and accepting applications for the 2009-2010 academic year.

The Penny Arcade Scholarship was established in 2007 to give a $10,000 reward to an applicant that desires to make a positive impact in the videogames industry.  To apply, you'll need to submit a two-page essay describing how you intend to benefit the games industry. Submissions have to be in by June 15th, so you need to get on it!

You'll have to be attending a U.S. college already, though. That means that high school seniors will have to wait a bit. Of course, you'll have to intend to enter the games industry at some point, too.

Check out past recipients, get the full details, and download an application at the official webpage for the Penny Arcade Scholarship.

I'm studying film right now but I have a couple of ideas that they might be interested in.

Are the two maids at the end of the line supposed to be Iroha from Samurai Showdown?

Interesting. Too bad the time I spend writing a report is time I spend away from my current work load and design stuff I do for school and on my free time.

Did I mention I hate writing reports? :P

One facet of college life I'll have to get over at some point assuming I don't decide to just graduate with an asssociates degree and intern at local design studios or go indie (the latter is unlikely seeing as my math/code capabilities are pretty much limited at basic scripting).

Anybody who can persuade people that booth babes at every game convention is a good idea get's my vote.
