30 lucky students were awarded $3,000 each for the 2012-2013 academic year by the Entertainment Software Association Foundation to help them become amazing innovators in the entertainment software industry. The winning students are studying in a large number of fields including computer science, animation, programming, graphic design, digital entertainment, and software engineering in schools all over the United States.

To paraphrase the president and CEO of the ESA, Michael D. Gallagher, these students are the next generation of creative geniuses that are going to blow our minds with crazy and awesome new tech and continue to imagine cool new toys.

Congratulations to the winners, and good luck to all of you who are working toward making life better and more fun for all of us. I can't wait to see what you'll create.
