Esports Red Shirt Program

The Esports Red Shirt Program is a new freshman initiative providing opportunities for 50 incoming University of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ students who are interested in the esports program. Through this academic and social support program, students will receive unique opportunities within the esports program, leading to better engagement and retention for the entire group.

The Esports Red Shirt Program is comprised of three main areas: esports community engagement, academic support, and a living/learning community on campus. Esports community engagement will provide each student in the program with access to a pre-established network of events, clubs, and teams to help ease their transition into a new collegiate environment. Red Shirt students will attend a variety of esports and non-esports related activities on campus throughout the semester. Academic support will be provided through seminars and one-on-one meetings with esports team members on campus. Students needing extra assistance will be directed to the proper additional support. A living/learning community also will be offered to participating esports program members, and they will receive priority housing requests for certain dormitories on campus.

Eligible candidates for The Esports Red Shirt Program Scholarship must:

  • Be incoming freshmen or new transfer students who have been accepted to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and will be taking classes on the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ campus;
  • Have a high school or transfer grade point average of 3.0 or higher; and
  • Try out and/or be interviewed to be part of the esports program.

Selection of recipient(s) will be determined by the Director and Head Coach of UA's Esports program.
