Den amerikanske NACE, eller National Association of Collegiate Esports, har afsløret, at de har underskrevet et partnerskab med High School Esports League (HSEL) om at levere eSportsturneringer til High School-elever i hele USA. Dette skal hjælpe sky og generte elever med at komme ud af skallen, og prøve eSport af som levevej.
HSEL er en liga bestående af over 13 turneringer 5800 elever, men partnerskaber skulle gerne skabe forbindelse imellem disse elever og NACE's mange College-skoler.
"Our partnership is an important step in laying down the foundation of streamlined recruitment from the high school space to the collegiate. We are seeing an explosive growth in the number of colleges launching varsity esports programs and those programs need qualified students. But this coming August our data shows expected esports scholarships from NACE member institutions to be close to $20 million. These college programs and scholarships represent real opportunities for students to gain quality educations while competing in the games they love. They greatest hurdle preventing this though is a lack of information on both sides. By working with HSEL, and organizations like it, we will be able to educate directly to students. Education here is the first step, activating comes next where we hope to run recruiting events for students and our coaches directly," siger Michael Brooks, der er Executive Director for NACE.
Dette er bare endnu et træk i at sikre at eSport er tilgængelig for alle.
