The Berkleemusic Online Scholarship Program is designed to provide gifted musicians from around the world with the unique opportunity to gain access to Berklee's world-class music education, regardless of their physical location. A total of five online scholarships will be awarded on an annual basis, representing the focus areas of songwriting, production & technology, music business, performance, and music education. The recipient of each online scholarship will receive six free online courses for one year and all necessary Berklee Press books required for those courses. At Berkleemusic.com, we have taught more than 1500 students from 38 countries over the past year. With the help of our Scholarship Honorees, we are able to offer five gifted musicians an opportunity that can really make a difference in their lives.
