Big Fish is proud to announce our first annual Online Games Scholarship Contest! This is an exciting opportunity to creatively pay towards some of those school bills.
The scholarship is a way for Big Fish to help one promising student on his or her journey through higher education. The $1000 scholarship will be awarded to one qualifying student with the most thought-provoking and well-reasoned essay as judged by a panel of Big Fish staff members.
We hope to see many student participants! Be sure to read the rules and submission details carefully before entering. No purchase is necessary and no fees are required to enter.
Rules:
- Open only to college-bound graduating high school seniors and students currently enrolled in college (U.S. students only).
- Limited to one entry per student. Attempts at multiple essay entries or invalid information will result in disqualification.
