YGG Sponsor-A-Scholar Updates
YGG’s Sponsor-A-Scholar program, which gives organizations and individuals a platform to help scale the positive impact of play-to-earn games, has been a life-altering experience for many scholars across the world.
Over September to December 2021, YGG sent a survey to the scholars sponsored by Flying Falcon, Leaping Corgi and FTX to gauge their progress and measure the impact of the program on their daily lives. A total of 230 scholars from the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Brazil, Venezuela and Peru answered the survey.
Read the article below to learn about the positive change many from our community have experienced thanks to the program and our sponsors.
