re you a woman? Do you go to an Art Institute? Are you interested in creating videogames? If you answered yes to all three of those questions, Sony Online Entertainment might just have a check for $10,000 with your name on it.

Yes, in front of a star-studded crowd -- Fatal1ty and IGN Personality Ryan Geddes were there -- SOE announced its Gamers In Real Life (G.I.R.L.) scholarship, which is open to any female attending one of the nation’s more than 40 Art Institutes and interested in the gaming industry career.

"It’s no secret to female gamers: women are out there in significant numbers playing MMOs, action games, first-person shooters, etc.," said SOE Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing Torrie Dorrell in a release. "What is lacking in the equation are women behind these games, and we hope G.I.R.L. can help support this program."

The application period for the $10,000 scholarship will begin April 1, and students will need to supply an in-game design, concept art and two essays to be eligible. The winner puts the money towards her education at the Art Institute but will also receive a ten-week, paid internship at one of the SOE studios. Want all of the details?
