This spring's High School Esports Scholar's Cup brought together hundreds of high school students from throughout the country to compete in a Rocket League tournament with prizes including Full Sail scholarships worth up to $15,000 and incredible gaming gear courtesy of Full Sail and MSI.

In this free-to-join tournament, students got more than just a chance to compete for amazing prizes. Participants in the Scholar's Cup were able to connect with peers around the country, enter incredible giveaways, and learn more about careers in the esports and gaming industries.

The two-day 3v3 Rocket League tournament featured a panel of industry experts and Full Sail graduates who shared with high schoolers their experiences and tips for success. Featuring Erin Eberhardt of Activision Blizzard, Twitch Partner Deejay Knight, Matt "Burns" Potthoff of eUnited, and Melia Anguiano of Gen.G Esports, the panel presented students with insights from roles across the esports industry including team management and content creation.
