The CSL is proud to announce the first ever scholarship for gaming!



Ever since the CSL was founded in Spring 2009, our goal has been to promote the growth of gaming in the US, to re-create the excitement of the thousands of fans in Korean stadiums watching the Proleague finals. College seemed like the best way to do it – we are all college students, we love Starcraft, and our friends love Starcraft: it made sense. After five successful seasons of the CSL, we started thinking more about what it means to be a student gamer. Universities award scholarships to students who are high level athletes as well as to students who work to benefit their community through leadership and service. Gaming should be no different – there should be scholarships given to exemplary students who work to promote gaming in and around their community and also prioritize their education.



We are happy to announce that CSL Head Administrator Duran “Xeris” Parsi will be donating $2,000 per year to two deserving students who are not only strong academically, but are also leaders in the gaming world, making this the first ever gaming scholarship. We hope that this will be the start of many more eSports scholarships.



For more details about the eSports scholarship, please see the announcement on the



Scholarship applications will be accepted from now until May 20th, 2012. The winners will be announced LIVE at the CSL Grand Finals at UCF on June 3rd!
