MOORHEAD, MN, OCTOBER 27, 2022 – One lucky North Dakota esports student will receive a scholarship to attend
Emerging Digital Academy, valued at $5,000!
Emerging Digital Academy is an immersive 20-week coding boot camp based in Fargo, ND, that was created to
address the growing need for software development talent in North Dakota. This accelerated program enables students
to become a full-stack software engineer in just five months. To learn more and apply for this scholarship, students
should visit: bytespeed.com/esports-scholarship/
“The curriculum is designed to emulate the on-the-job training experience that an entry level developer would receive in
the first few months at work. Students will create connections to their fellow classmates, guest speakers, and local
employers that they will be able to call upon throughout their career,” says Blaine Booher, Program Director at
Emerging Digital Academy.
The scholarship will be announced at the NAECAD Clinic and Esports Recruiting Event at NDSU this weekend,
October 28-29. This event is open to the public and is a great opportunity for students interested in esports to attend
educational sessions, learn more about high school and collegiate esports opportunities, scholarships, and much more!
More than 100 area esports students are registered to attend, and esports coaches from Fargo and West Fargo
schools will be available for media interviews.
