A California university is offering scholarships to students who have completed some of gaming’s toughest challenges. The University of Silicon Valley offers up to $15,000 a year through its Max Achievement Scholarship. To qualify, students must earn specific achievements in games like Elden Ring, Final Fantasy XIV, Dark Souls, Sekiro, Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Stardew Valley, and more. For example, earning the Platinum Trophy in Elden Ring or reaching level 100 with every combat, crafting, and gathering job in Final Fantasy XIV can help qualify. Gaming skills alone aren’t enough. Students must be accepted into the university, maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, and write an essay about what they learned from those in-game challenges.
