GYO Dashboard
Over 150 schools will be offering esports college scholarship in the 2019 academic school year, and over 900 schools beyond that will have some formal school-affiliated esports social club and/or varsity team. As competitive gaming expands, the schools have taken advantage of the trends to create league and tournament programs that promote sportsmanship, teamwork, and social competition.
For teenage gamers, there has never been a more appropriate time to begin looking at schools for esports programs that will provide a fun extracurricular activity on-campus at the very least, and a possible scholarship at best. Start your journey by registering for a GYO Free Member account and begin getting your data analyzed by our system. As schools begin to research potential recruits, you could be on the receiving end of messages direct from recruiters!

Testimonials
I feel extremely blessed most certainly. It has been absolutely incredible to receive a scholarship offer for playing a game I love - it's like a dream come true. I'm definitely going to be keeping up on GYO.

Rocket League Scholarship
You never will really succeed if you keep hanging back. You got to go out and try things. You can’t always be skeptical about everything you see.

Smite Scholarship
This is a good opportunity to get into the league scene and hopefully go pro, but also a great chance to get my college degree.
If you feel like you want to pursue this, then you really have to take that leap of faith and play to your best abilities.

League of Legends Scholarship
It was really cool to get these offers from both these places. I never really had that before. And if there were any opportunity to make something of my talents and video games, I would be all for it. I’m going to enjoy it while I can and earn my degree.
There’s no real downside to it (GYO). If you're going to be playing the game anyways, might as well get something out of it!

League of Legends Scholarship
I was SHOCKED! I didn’t think I even did this properly; I didn’t think I was going to get anything from this. Fast forward, and I woke up to an email that I had someone trying to contact me!
When I played ranked, I would occasionally get contacted by college recruiter, but nothing would happen. But through GYO, it's really good because it allows them to come see you and directly see your stats and find easier ways to contact me. It really helps your name get out there.

League of Legends Scholarship
Show them! It doesn’t take much time! All you got to do is log on, play a few games, and your stats will speak for themselves! When you have places like GYO, take advantage of that!
The little time I have to play games, it definitely worth the time to invest in sites like GYO.
