We've heard back from last year's Roachy Fund scholarship recipients. Below are the updates they've sent us on their past year.
Nick:
Thanks to the Roachy Fund, I’ve been able to begin my studies as a Computer Science and Interactive Media double major at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Closing in on the end of my freshman year, I have had the privilege to pursue my passion in game development with classes taught by professors and former game developers well-acquainted with the industry! I have also been lucky enough to collaborate with other students on a few 48-hour game jams, where we develop a game from scratch in that time period. (Included here is a screenshot from our most recent project, a multiplayer arcade game where players compete to collect cash as bounty hunters.) My experiences from this year have been invaluable, and I am very appreciative to the Roachy Fund for making them possible!
Amari:
Covid's certainly changed my freshman year at Quinnipiac, but our school's luckily been able to stay open with a hybrid system in place. College is certainly different this year, and the pandemic has made quite a few aspects more difficult, but I've still been given some great opportunities! I was in a very successful, fully virtual show during my fall semester, and this semester, I will be in an in-person production of Macbeth that will be live-streamed for our audience. My game design classes have also been going very well! Though some of those updates are a little less exciting to hear about, I've been really enjoying my classes and have learned a lot this year. I'm excited to continue my studies and hopefully be back to a semi-normal college experience next year. Again, I can't thank you enough for the scholarship, as it's helped me endlessly over this past year.
