The Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation is accepting applications for the Sofia Carson Prodigy Scholarship, a four-year scholarship towards a bachelors degree at Berklee College of Music for the fall 2022 semester. The scholarship holds a maximum value of $200,000 and is available for exceptionally talented students who have financial needs and a passion for Latin music.
As global ambassador of the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation, it has been my privilege to witness and contribute towards realizing this transformational and life-changing mission, said Carson. It is my immense honor to partner with my foundation family to contribute to music education. This scholarship will change the life of an ever-deserving, brilliant, young Latin musician. Together, may we continue to amplify and lift up the powerful Latin voices in every corner of our world!
Previous artists who have cosponsored the Prodigy Scholarship to attend Berklee include Enrique Iglesias (2015), Juan Luis Guerra (2016), Miguel Bos (2017), Carlos Vives (2018), Emilio and Gloria Estefan (2019), Julio Iglesias (2020), and Juanes (2021).
We continue to be humbled and honored to have Sofia's ongoing support over these last three years as our global ambassador; her generosity truly has no bounds. It is inspiring to see young talent generously paying it forward and paving the way for future creators, said Tanya Ramos Puig, president of the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation. As we enter our seventh year of providing scholarships and transformational experiential programming, we know that access and educational equity are pivotal in supporting future Latin music creators and preserving our cultural heritage for generations to come. It is truly a humbling reality made possible, year after year, thanks to the gracious support of our partners.
The deadline to apply for the scholarship is April 10, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. ET. For application guidelines and information, visit the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundations website.
