Our scholarships honor two amazing NASAGAns:
Judee Blohm was the backbone of NASAGA until her passing in July of 2013. She was long-time Editor of SIMAGES as well as Editor and facilitator of the NASAGA Training Activity book. She was an inspiration, a mentor, and a very creative person. The Judee Blohm award honors her life and dedication by providing assistance in her name to those who share her love of games and learning.
Richard Powers was a novelist, playwright, mime performer, professor, wide-ranging educator, and game designer. He was introduced to NASAGA simulation and gaming in 1975, when he stepped into a crowded elevator and was drawn into learning how to play a numbers game. Upon his passing March 2014, a fund was created in his honor and now provides funds to those who share his interest in simulation and gaming in the fields of social justice and/or sustainability.
If you’ve been curious about NASAGA, this may be the perfect opportunity to join a community centered on learning through play. Scholarship applications will be open soon - stay tuned!
