JBL Quantum Grant with 1,000 Dreams Fund
In 2021, 1,000 Dreams Fund has partnered with JBL to launch the JBL Quantum Grant with 1,000 Dreams Fund program to help amplify the voices and jumpstart the careers of women in esports.
Women are still underrepresented in gaming and esports, and together, we are on a mission to identify and support women interested in pursuing careers in esports by providing funding and access to hands-on experiences to help them pursue their passions through microgrants and unique opportunities to engage with high-profile women in the industry.
The 1,000 Dreams Fund x JBL Quantum Changemakers Challenge is now closed for 2021 - thank you for applying!
Through our partnership with JBL, we are committed to helping a diverse group of young women get closer to achieving their career, including first-generation college students and young women of color.
In 2021 through our 1,000 Dreams Fund x JBL Quantum Changemakers Challenge, 30 women will receive the ultimate prize package to fuel their gaming dreams:
- $1,500 grant
- A JBL Quantum gaming headset for the ultimate competitive advantage
- Select winners will receive a virtual mentorship session with JBL Ambassadors and 100 Thieves content creators BrookeAB and Kyedae
Potential additional pop-up opportunities in 2021
Our JBL Quantum Grant is just another way we’re celebrating our ongoing commitment to funding and spotlighting the talented young women with big dreams in gaming and esports. We want to help them achieve their goals and win big — now and in the future.
