It gives you the resources and the community to push yourself and to allow you to pursue something you may have only dreamed of. I never thought I'd be in a position to have to choose between internship offers, and I have to thank GSP in part for that!

More Information
I applied to a scholarship and got rejected last time, but after I started working with EGD and a coach to revise my essay I made the cut! I've never seen that much money before... I met wonderful people that are pushing me in a positive direction, and I wouldn't have gotten this if I hadn't met them. If you join EGD you gain the confidence and skills to do it.

What I got out of [EGD] was not only the relationships and friends that I still talk to, but this methodology or thought process… a way of seeing games that's very valuable. EGD made me realize [becoming a game developer was] actually something that I could theoretically do. I would never have done that if it weren't for my time at EGD.
