Twitch sensation, Imane Anys, popularly known as Pokimane, is a loyal supporter of student gamers who are managing their Esports career along with studies. Back in 2020, she declared that she would be supporting student games by giving away scholarships every year alongside the University of California. Not only this, in November 2021, she also announced another scholarship program in partnership with Intel and American Video Game League (AVGL).

The scholarship is for a handful of students so that they can at least manage their tuition fees alongside gaming as a professional interest. To win these, $10,000 students have to apply through AVGL’s official website. Something worth noting here is that the scholarship is funded by AVGL and the Twitch star herself.
