NACON has selected two outstanding students as winners of the RIG Future Academy Scholarship. The two RIG Future Academy Scholars are Caleb Purnell and Gabriel Hapke.

The scholarship was created to help students on their way to academic success. 

“At RIG, we empower players, not only by developing gear to improve their gaming performance, but also by supporting academic achievement. Gaming is sport, and like any sport, growth comes from play and practice but also through learning,“ said Jack Reynolds, president of NACON Gaming. 

“The RIG Future Academy Scholarship embodies our beliefs. We want to support students who have the drive to be better with the tools they need to reach their academic goals,” he added.
