"Wouldn't that be better than positive discrimination?"
Did anyone even click through and read about the program? The "scholarship was created ... to encourage students toward career paths in the creative and applied arts, with the ultimate goal of developing video games that are more interesting for women to play."
As far as I can tell, it *isn't* closed to men, which I'm pretty sure would be against disrimination laws and illegal. The 'Who is Eligible' section of the site doesn't mention sex at all. It's certainly *marketed* towards woman (given the scholarship name and ultimate goal) which makes it a type of positive action.
