MANILA - AcadArena has awarded collegiate and university scholarships under the name of prominent gaming talents of 100 Thieves.
Three awardees from Grade 12 to undergraduate college received a full ride scholarship worth P180,000 per awardee in the Valkyrae's Homecoming Scholarship, named after content creator and 100 Thieves co-owner, Filipino-German Valkyrae.
A separate scholarship for women, titled "Fuslie's Women in Gaming Scholarship" awards P135,000 worth of scholarships per awardee. It is named after American streamer Leslie “Fuslie” Fu.
The scholarships were announced early May, with students from Miriam College, De La Salle University, Lyceum of the Philippines University, and University of Santo Tomas making the cut.
