Alumni Feedback

It is because of people like you, and the hard work that you do, which makes it possible for people who are otherwise traditionally disadvantaged to attend GDC and gain a foothold in this industry.
This opportunity allowed me to connect with other marginalized game designers, who helped me navigate challenging experiences in AAA and continue to act as mentors for me.
I'm so grateful for this scholarship. Seriously, thank you so much. I'm really thankful that it was so generous ... I would've never been able to go to GDC without this scholarship, and I know of organizations with way more resources that aren't doing what you've done for us. I had an incredible time and it's thanks to the folks at GDOCExpo.
Without the scholarship there was no way for me to attend GDC.
Having this safe space with this awesome group of people was super validating, the sense of commonality did wonders for my confidence going into the conference this year.
