Ashland University from Ohio has announced that they are adding Epic Games' popular battle royale Fortnite to their eSports program.

If you're a pretty good Fortnite player and wish to attend Ashland University, here's your opportunity to apply to the program. "Fortnite appeals to both the core and casual gaming audience," eSports head coach Josh Buchanan stated in a statement. "We're excited to provide this platform for gamers who want to showcase their skills in a more competitive space. Fortnite facilitates an environment that allows players to get creative, innovate and show off their mastery of their skills."

Academics are taken into account too, being able to correctly spell "losing" would help.:D
A $4,000 scholarship isn't much when you consider the overall cost of a degree, but at least that's $4,000 less mommy and daddy have to pay.
