The GRAMMY Foundation selected 84 talented high school students from 75 cities and 23 states across the United States to participate in the fifth annual GRAMMY Camp July 11–19 at the University of Southern California. GRAMMY Camp students worked with GRAMMY-winning and -nominated professionals and industry specialists affiliated with The Recording Academy and experienced an immersive, interactive and highly collaborative residential summer music camp. GRAMMY Camp was sponsored in part by Epiphone. Other product sponsors included Apple, Center Staging, Coca-Cola, Converse, Digidesign, Guitar Center, Line 6, Mackie, and Shure. Adobe donated eight Premiere Pro licenses and Hewlett Packard has donated a number of laptop computers and a large quantity of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs. Financial assistance for GRAMMY Camp was offered to qualified students and a portion of these resources was generously provided by ASCAP, the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Fund, and the Ford Motor Company Fund.
