Awards
Thanks to the generosity of friends and alumni, USC Games is able to offer scholarships from the The Gerald A. Lawson Fund. The Gerald A. Lawson Fund provides financial support for under-represented students who wish to pursue undergraduate or graduate degrees in game design or computer science from the University of Southern California's prestigious, #1-ranked joint program, USC Games.
With financial support from additional donors, game, and technology companies, USC Games' vision is to admit more under-represented students who will use the skills we impart to them during their studies to graduate and have successful and prosperous careers in Games and other STEAM industries.
In addition to the Lawson Scholarships, each school offers scholarships during the admissions process thanks to generous philanthropic support from individual donors, corporations, and foundations. See each schools website for specifics on eligibility, application, and deadlines.
