Scholarships used to involve long hours writing essays, or playing sports. But now, a new program at UC Irvine is allowing students to pay for school through e-sports scholarships.
UC Irvine is the first public university in the nation to offer scholarships to students to play for the college's e-sports team.
The program is just like any other, students are expected to show up for practice, meet a certain GPA standard, as well as sign a code of conduct. Video games they play include League of Legends, Starcraft and more.
