The scholarship can be used towards Berklee Online undergraduate music business courses or certificates, providing the recipient with the opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the exciting industry of vinyl and physical media.

Let’s Set the Record Straight

The world of physical production does not always spring to mind when asking an aspiring music business student of their career considerations, which is simply a visibility issue. On the flipside, with the increased visibility of vinyl itself, music industry data proves that the format is sustaining the trend of continuously gaining young fans.

Berklee Online, Women in Vinyl, and Marshall are keen not only to highlight the fascinating world of vinyl and physical formats, but to directly support individuals who have the intention of beginning their career journey in this field.
