Watch out Harvard. Here comes...Kai Cenat?
With a Harry Potter–inspired launch video, Kai Cenat welcomed the “first-ever class of Streamer University” — then dropped a link to apply.
Within minutes, he got over 1M applications. The site crashed. Submissions flooded in.
But how's it been going so far?
Backstory
Kai Cenat's Streamer University isn't another online course.
It’s a real college-campus experience for creators — free flights, free housing, and a full weekend to collaborate, create, and, in Kai’s words, “make chaos.”
Streamer University is open to all types of creators — not just Twitch streamers. TikTokers, YouTubers, rookies, and veterans are all encouraged to apply.
Cenat says he’s looking for creators with energy, ambition, and “that flair.”
And he’s putting real money behind it: over $500,000 to make sure every student has the best setup — cameras, mics, PCs, you name it.
Kai even said he’d try to appear in everyone’s streams.
Applicants Are Going All Out
Submissions so far have ranged from heartfelt to hilarious:
- Chocolate Girl Eats dressed as Lil Wayne and rapped about lasagna
- Estie submitted a full-on business proposal for why “studs” should be part of the creator lineup
- Weezoe streamed from his house with his kids yelling in the background
“I’m not confirming or denying anyone,” Kai said during his stream. “But if your sh*t is cringe, GG.”
Our Take
There’s a generation of young people who don’t want to go to real university.
But a weekend learning from favorite creators? That’s a dream.
Kai is giving them access, mentorship, and most importantly — a moment. One that says: this path is real. This job is real. And community is the best kind of curriculum.
As Streamer University takes shape, one thing is already clear: the demand is overwhelming.
Over 1 million people raised their hands. Now Kai just has to pick who makes the cut.
