Research notes
The old 'full tuition + housing stipend' terms appear only in 2018-era press and third-party pages. The current official esports page says only 'academic scholarships', so the old terms should be treated as outdated. Colors are approximate: Wikipedia lists green/teal/blue names from an Aug 2026 rebrand, with no hex codes. The logo may come from before that rebrand.
