The Presidential Scholarship Program is founded on the principle that all deserving, talented, and financially challenged students should be provided the opportunity to experience the unique benefits of a Berklee education. Presidential Scholars represent the most talented individuals among all young musicians graduating from high school each year. Each will receive full tuition and room and board, which is renewable over four years of study.
Candidates must exhibit outstanding musical merit determined through a live audition. They are also required to demonstrate financial need through submission of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
All candidates for the Presidential Scholarship must first participate in a live audition at one of Berklee's many audition sites throughout the United States. Beginning in the 2006–2007 academic year, the Presidential Scholarship will also be available to international applicants to the college. Candidates who qualify based on their auditions will be notified that they have been nominated for a Presidential Scholarship and will be asked to complete an application for need-based financial aid. Final selection of the Presidential Scholars will be announced on or before April 15 each year.
