DePaul Game Dev student wins Randy Pausch Scholarship
Congratulations to Sebastian Gosztyla on winning this prestigious award! Randy Pausch made a lasting impact on game education, and touched the lives of millions with his Last Lecture.
Sebastian Gosztyla knows about dreams; he was born in Bielsk-Biala, Poland. When he moved to the United States at 10, he learned how to play video games even though he didn’t speak English. Though Gosztyla was offered scholarships at other schools, he decided to study at DePaul University’s Game Development program. Despite the financial struggle; he chose to pursue his vision. “I feel extremely honored and thrilled to receive this award. Efforts such as the Randy Pausch Scholarship help to change the perception of education in video games from a silly day dream to a recognized degree. It’s a relief to know that there are people out there who support the dreams of students like myself,” says Gosztyla.
