Ohio’s Ashland University announced this week that it’ll be the first college in the U.S. to offer scholarships specifically for the game.
Although it currently has no formal esports scene, “Fortnite” has consistently been the most-watched title on Twitch’s streaming platform in recent months, with competitive broadcaster Ninja shattering viewership records when he had hip-hop star Drake as a guest on his channel.
