The Africa Scholars Program is designed to create opportunities for gifted African musicians who lack the financial means to study at Berklee.

In addition, the program is intended to enhance Berklee’s presence in Africa, including holding more auditions there; increasing awareness of Berklee among African musicians; and encouraging the already impressive roster of Berklee alumni from Africa to actively support this scholarship and Berklee.

Through the Africa Scholars Program, Berklee seeks to provide educational opportunities by awarding scholarships to talented musicians who are citizens of any African country and who meet the admissions requirements.

Eligibility:

• Qualified candidates must be citizens of an African country. Candidates living or studying abroad are also eligible and may apply for this program.
• Scholarship Candidates must have at minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent certification, and meet all admissions requirements.

All eligible candidates for scholarship and fellowship consideration must participate in a live audition and interview (A&I)

A limited number of full-tuition awards are available to exceptionally gifted musicians who participate in a live audition. Partial-tuition awards are also available.
