Full Sail University paid a visit to the EA SPORTS Gaming at MVA student group to speak with them about pursuing careers in the esports industry.
Jim Makowski, Director of Full Sail’s outreach program, brought with him Matt Shultz, a Full Sail graduate who now works in the industry to give students in our program a game plan for their education beyond Montverde Academy and what it’s like getting a job in the field. The MVA’s esports team members had the opportunity to share ideas and ask questions of the guests in order to better inform them about possible careers in the field.
Full Sail University has partnered with our program to support the students enrolled by providing expert support for our classes and senior projects. Students that are enrolled in the EA SPORTS Gaming at MVA are eligible for up to $15,000 in scholarships at the university.
