The Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Noel Schajris will sponsor the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation’s Prodigy Scholarship, also known as the 2026 Noel Schajris Scholarship, contributing toward a bachelor’s degree at Berklee College of Music for the 2026 fall semester.
The scholarship will include housing, tuition, and various services estimated up to $250,000. It highlights Schajris’ commitment and dedication to supporting the next generation of artists and musicians. As a trademark move throughout his career, Schajris has generously contributed his time and resources aimed towards supporting young musicians through his mentorship program.
Schajris shared, “As a kid, I dreamed of making a living from music. Life and the public have given me a career and the chance to express my soul through songs, and that enormous blessing translates into the opportunity for music lovers to enjoy that incredible experience. There is nothing more beautiful than learning, nor anything more important than education. I can’t wait to hear all that talent, which I have no doubt will move me and fill my heart.”
Along with the 2026 Noel Schajris Scholarship, multiple scholarships are now available for music students with financial limitations and a passion for Latin music, specifically between the ages of 17-25 and beginning their studies in the 2026 fall season.
