Have you ever hoped that your skills in video games will help you pay for college? Well if you play Pokémon, they just might!

The Pokémon Company International gives educational scholarships to Pokémon champions at their national and world championships as part of their ‘Play! Pokémon’  scholarship program

The scholarship can be used to pay for tuition, books, fees, supplies, and other equipment required for educational courses at a qualified schools. Qualified institutions range from elementary to colleges, graduate programs, and some technical and trade schools. However, the Pokémon Company International ultimately decides what schools qualify or not.

The scholarship amounts vary.

If you decide you want to give the scholarship to someone else, you can as long as they agree to the terms of the program.
