To show our dedication to that mission, Blinn is one of the few community colleges in the region to offer varsity-level esports scholarships in addition to Blinn’s full range of merit scholarships.

COMING SOON!Construction is underway on Blinn’s new science, technology, engineering, and innovation building. Three stories tall and spanning 72,000 square feet, the new building will feature 17,000 square feet of laboratory space and a 3,000-square-foot innovation lab that will include a 3D printing lab, robotics area, virtual reality space and high-tech fabrication shop. The new facility also will include anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology, information technology, microbiology, nursing, organic chemistry, and physics labs.
