  • Pokimane’s scholarships are aimed at student gamers from underprivileged backgrounds. The scholarship will be open for students till the end of the year on 31st December 2021.
  • Students who wish to apply will have to send in a 1-2 minute video, where they highlight and explain their background in the gaming arena and their goals as a gamer.
