Roehampton University offers scholarships to students excelling in competitive gaming

Roehampton University has launched an esports scholarship that provides financial support to students who demonstrate strong performance in competitive gaming. The program requires recipients to maintain satisfactory academic progress alongside their gaming achievements. The initiative comes at a time when rising university costs are placing increasing financial strain on students across the country. Broader concerns have also been raised about low awareness among students regarding available scholarships and bursaries. Supporters argue such schemes can reduce students' dependence on part-time work and help them focus on their studies.
