Here at Kabam, we believe that diversity is essential in creating great games. We also recognize that women, including any individual who identifies as a woman or with the experience of womanhood, cisgender, trans, non-binary, gender-queer, intersex and two spirit individuals, are underrepresented in the gaming industry, and we want to help change that.
We are excited to offer a scholarship for women who are enrolled in post-secondary STEM, Art, or Design programs and are interested in pursuing a career in the gaming industry. Through this initiative, we hope to bring new perspectives, ideas, and experiences to our industry and promote greater diversity and inclusivity.
