We’re excited to announce that applications for the 2024–2025 Dreamhaven | GGP Scholarship Program are open! For the past three years, Dreamhaven has partnered with Gay Gaming Professionals (GGP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to identifying community-oriented LGBTQ+ game development students to provide $5,000 scholarships to deserving students who show exceptional promise as future game developers.
Applications are open from today, June 17th, for three weeks until July 8th.
Inside the Mentorship
One of the unique and most cherished aspects of our scholarship program is the mentorship it offers. Scholars are paired with Dreamhaven developers who align with their interests and needs, providing an unparalleled opportunity to gain insights into their chosen discipline, explore various facets of game development, and understand the intricacies of studio operations.
Reflecting on the experiences of previous scholars, such as Randen and Devyn, it’s clear that the mentorship component of the scholarship has had a profound impact. From learning the nuances of effective level design to navigating the unique expectations and culture of the games industry, our scholars have gained invaluable knowledge and connections.
Looking Ahead to Year Four
Reflecting on our journey with past scholars, we are filled with gratitude and anticipation as we prepare to welcome the next group of exceptional applicants for the 2024–2025 school year. This scholarship program not only offers financial assistance but also cultivates a nurturing community and encourages professional development through mentorship.
