Turtle Beach announced a new partnership with NIU Esports. As part of the partnership, Turtle Beach is providing scholarships for student athletes who demonstrate outstanding leadership and will be outfitting NIU Esports teams and the NIU Esports Arena with a variety of performance-driven PC gaming peripherals. NIU’s Esports Arena, located in Altgeld Hall, opened in 2022 and has welcomed more than 2,000 high school and college students since that time. The Turtle Beach Leadership Awards are $2,500 scholarships to be awarded to two NIU Esports varsity athletes each year. The scholarship recipients will be the athletes who go above and beyond to support their teammates and demonstrate outstanding sportsmanship, both in and out of the game.
