Berklee College of Music, in partnership with the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation, is pleased to announce the first Emerging Artist Scholarship toward a bachelor's degree at the college for the fall 2025 semester. Through a series of scholarships, the institution furthers its commitment to advance the foundation's mission to provide educational opportunities that advance Latin music and its heritage, pledging $825,000 in scholarships over the next three years for future music creators.
The Emerging Artist Scholarship is valued at $275,000 and covers a bachelor's degree and room and board at the college, as well as wraparound services and ongoing mentorship and learning opportunities provided in partnership with the foundation.
The Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation has collaborated with Berklee for more than a decade, and many of its high school graduates and recipients of the prestigious Prodigy Scholarship have attended the college to pursue degrees in music.
The collaboration between Berklee and the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation has been an excellent model in creating access to education and career opportunities for young artists, said Berklee President Jim Lucchese. The Emerging Artist Scholarship will continue and expand on this great work by offering additional pathways to help students achieve their dreams at Berklee.
Over the last 10 years, the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation has been a tremendous supporter of our students, contributing many millions of dollars in scholarship support to some of our gifted artists, said Damien Bracken, dean of admissions at Berklee. In celebration of the foundation's 10-year anniversary commemorated in 2024, I am so pleased to establish the Emerging Artist Scholarship in partnership with the foundation, a presidential-level scholarship for undergraduate studies. We look forward to continuing to explore new ways that Berklee and the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation can work together to support prospective students and applicants.
Berklee College of Music has been a committed partner of the foundation for more than a decade, and we are so pleased to enter this next phase in our collaboration, said Raquel Rocky Egusquiza, executive director of the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation. We are grateful for Berklee's ongoing support, as together, with their generosity, we continue furthering the foundation's mission and expanding access to educational opportunities that advance Latin music and its heritage.
The Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation is accepting applications for all 2025 scholarships now through April 10, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET. To review 2025 guidelines and apply, visit the foundations website. The application includes two audition videos, two letters of recommendation, two essays, and an acceptance letter from an accredited university. Materials can be submitted in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
To date, the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation has awarded 427 scholarships, investing more than $10 million in young artists over the last decade. For information, visit latingrammyculturalfoundation.org.
