One scholarship will be awarded to each of the program's four participating schools: Parsons School of Design, Howard University, Berklee College of Music and Spelman College. Scholarship winners have to be enrolled in a program for music, the creative arts, literature or African American Studies. The award will be open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Award amounts are yet to be disclosed and application details and deadlines will be shared by the individual schools.
