Helping Students compete in Esports at the next level.

Competing against other schools may result in prize money, so schools want to recruit the best players possible. That’s where esports scholarships come in. Robert Morris University was the first college or university to offer esports scholarships in 2014 and since then, the number of esports teams and scholarships has grown rapidly.
There are many college/university opportunities for students when it comes to Esports. Though Esports scholarships vary in amount, there are some awards to students as high as $50,000. Many of these scholarships are not readily made available to athletes in underserved schools because of these athletes not being able to compete on the same level as others. As Thryve Labz works to bridge the gap, We will also work to provide students with opportunities to compete at the next level if they desire to.
With the help of BGG Foundation, Thryve Labz will create a recruiting database for Esports that will act as a central location for colleges/universities that are looking to find the right Esports athlete for their program. This will make it much easier for athletes to be seen as well as help the sport grow on a national level.
