SCHOLAR INITIATIVE

NZ Esports Scholar Initiative

Excel in esports without compromising on education with the NZ Esports Scholar Initiative. Designed to offer New Zealand’s top players flexible, online curriculum and internationally recognised qualifications, that fits to your schedule so you can focus on winning. 

Choosing esports as a career is exciting but challenging. Often, when you’re reaching your gaming best and could compete globally, you also need to study and gain work skills.

NZ Esports combines gaming and learning, preparing you for success, both in esports and beyond.
