\n\t\u201cJoining the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation for their annual Prodigy Scholarship is beautiful because I\u2019m part of something that I would\u2019ve wished for as a young kid. One of my big dreams was to study music at Berklee and although my career took a different path which I\u2019m super grateful for, I would\u2019ve loved to have that kind of preparation and knowledge,\u201d said\u00a0Sebasti\u00e1n Yatra in a statement.\u00a0\u201cI hope that the person who gets this opportunity takes full advantage of the scholarship and enjoys it to the max. I\u2019ll be looking out for applicants that share a lot of heart and sincerity in their art.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe foundation\u2019s scholarship, created nine years ago, holds a maximum value of $200,000 in financial aid for music students in need. The scholarship is traditionally awarded to \u201cexceptionally talented music students, with financial needs, to support their educational and musical aspirations,\u201d according to the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news of the scholarship follows the singer-songwriter\u2019s stint as a host<\/a> at the 24th Annual Latin Grammys, during which he performed and expressed his passion for the Foundation on-air, encouraging global support for Latin music education. The Colombian superstar initially partnered with the Foundation in 2019 for the Latin Grammy In The Schools program in Miami. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur scholarships provide more than just funds for college tuition,\u201d said\u00a0Raquel \u201cRocky\u201d Egusquiza, executive director of the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation. \u201cThe ongoing support we receive from artists such as Sebasti\u00e1n Yatra and our generous sponsors allows us to take it a step further and create meaningful educational and mentoring opportunities for the next generation of Latin music creators.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition, Gibson Gives, the charitable division of Gibson, will provide sponsorship for three Tuition Assistance Scholarships. Each scholarship could be worth up to $10,000 and is intended for students who aim to study music, with the electric or acoustic guitar as their main instrument. Applications for all 44 scholarships available in 2024 are now open and available to music students between the ages of 17 and 25. <\/p>\n
