Tespa and Blizzard serve up $1 million for college esports scholarships

While esports has spent much of 2017 building and formalizing infrastructure, Tespa has been around since 2013 as a network of collegiate-level esports clubs and tournaments. It now boasts over 65,000 members and 220 chapters at different universities and, working in partnership with Blizzard Entertainment, is planning on awarding over $1 million in scholarships through its leagues for the 2017-2018 academic year.

The organization announced today that it’s also rolling out a new “Tespa University” initiative, which will open membership to all college students in North America and also help esports fans at universities connect with each other.
