A scholarship is a popular practice in the Axie Infinity universe where managers lend their free Axies to new players (scholars) and earn passively from the battle rewards.
What Is a Scholarship/Scholar?
Scholarship in Axie Infinity is the process where managers lend their free Axies (digital pets) to “scholars,” who are new to the game and don’t have enough funds to make a team consisting of three NFT monsters required to play the game.
Scholarships in Axie Infinity are utilized mainly by two groups of people. The first group denotes the new players who don’t have funds (as described above), while the second group is of those who have become veterans and have a lot of Axies in their possession, however, they cannot utilize all of them to gain SLP. So, they lend these Axies out to scholars and earn passive rewards in the form of SLP.
Earnings are usually divided into different ratios, including 60/40, 50/50, or 70/30. To earn a scholarship in Axie Infinity, players have to search for managers of guilds that hire Axie scholars. Players can contact these managers and show their interest in getting the scholarship. Every guild has certain criteria which new players have to fulfill to become scholars, get their free Axies, and participate in the game to earn rewards.
