SCHOLARSHIPS

Grammy award-winning pianist and composer Michel Camilo and Berklee College of Music are seeking gifted young musicians from the Dominican Republic to apply for the opportunity to attend Berklee on a full scholarship, including tuition and room and board. The scholarship has been made possible, in part, by a generous gift from Mike Dreese, CEO of Newbury Comics. Camilo, a native of Santo Domingo, made the announcement at a press briefing for his February 19, 2005 concert in Santiago, held at the Gran Teatro Regional del Cibao.

The Michel Camilo Scholarship will be presented to a young musician, either Dominican-born or of Dominican descent, with both exceptional talent and a passion for a career in music. The scholarship recipient will be provided the opportunity to attend Berklee, the alma mater to such musical luminaries as Quincy Jones, Juan Luis Guerra, Diana Krall, John Mayer, and Danilo Pérez. The scholarship covers tuition, and room and board for four years of attendance, culminating in a Bachelor of Music Degree.
