A Scholarship for the Future of Latin Music

The Prodigy Scholarship, created by the Latin Grammy Foundation under Blavia de Cisneros' leadership, offers exceptional students the opportunity to receive up to $250,000 to cover their tuition, housing, and academic services over the four years of their bachelor's degree at Berklee.
