Alongside earning a scholarship, winning students will also receive a range of Tribe Gaming and Razer peripherals and merchandise, according to the release.
Michael Valore, Director of Accounts at Tribe Gaming, spoke on the collaboration: “Teaming up with Razer to launch a scholarship fund is a natural fit – we both want to more broadly support collegiate students, as well as lift the future of gaming and esports.
“Tribe has been hiring extensively within collegiate space over the last year, and we’re excited to help continue to cultivate the esports and gaming thought leaders of tomorrow.”
