In partnership with the GRAMMY Museum, the Recording Academy is excited to announce the launch of the third annual Quinn Coleman Memorial Scholarship.
This program intends to uplift the next generation of Black and brown music creators through a comprehensive internship and professional development opportunities. Established in 2021, the scholarship was named in honor of the late music executive and DJ Quinn Coleman, who tragically passed away in 2020.
The Quinn Coleman Memorial Scholarship aims to continue eliminating barriers within the music industry by providing Black and brown college students with professional development experiences that will better prepare them for careers in the music industry.
Five selected students will each be awarded two $1,000 scholarships for tuition, a $500 stipend for interview preparation, two $250 stipends for books and equipment, and access to financial and emotional wellness seminars. Furthermore, students will be awarded a spring internship at the Recording Academy or Latin Recording Academy.
The Recording Academy's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team will judiciously select applications from currently enrolled college students across the country who aim to pursue careers in the music industry or other related creative fields.
The scholarship application opens on Wednesday, Sept. 18, and will close on Friday, Oct. 25. To apply for the scholarship, visit here. More information about the Quinn Coleman scholarship program, visit the GRAMMY Museum's website.
