The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation is now accepting applications for the Emilio and Gloria Estefan Scholarship. Latin music students that are attending Berklee College of Music in Boston are able to receive the four-year scholarship that is valued at up to $200,000. The scholarship was created five years ago to support music education and Latin music genres allowing for an exceptionally gifted student who faces financial obstacles an opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree in music. GRAMMY Winners Emilio and Gloria Estefan have paved the way for future singer-songwriters since they skyrocketed to fame with the Miami Sound Machine in 1985.
"Twenty years ago we were part of the founding committee that launched the Latin GRAMMYs™ and it is such a satisfying honor to be a part of this organization as benefactors that will make reality the dream of one student with interest in Latin music. It is a pleasure to support and help a student attend one of the most prestigious and celebrated universities in the world, Berklee College of Music," said Emilio Estefan on behalf of the Estefans.
"It is a privilege for us to have the support of music icons Emilio and Gloria Estefan," said Manolo Díaz, Sr. Vice President of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. "As musicians and entrepreneurs, the Estefans have a vast knowledge of all the areas in the industry. Through their leadership and support we hope to—not only change the life of an aspiring talent—but also inspire others to pursue the many careers available in music while inviting people to join our cause through donations.”
The deadline to apply is April 10, 2019 by 11:59 p.m. ET and applications can submitted in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
