Students seeking financial assistance must first register and then complete an online application to the program.  Once the online application is received and processed, students will be emailed detailed information regarding the online scholarship application requirements and a link to submit their material to be reviewed by the Scholarship Committee. Scholarship applicants are required to submit links of a maximum of three (3) YouTube performances. Scholarships awarded to this program range from $500 to $1,500.

The deadline to apply for scholarship consideration to the Berklee ESL Program is March 1. Scholarship decisions will be issued by April 15. The scholarship selection committee will award music students who are most likely to benefit from the program based on the their demonstrated talent and potential, with preference given to students enrolled in high school or secondary school.
