The Recording Academy's Black Music Collective and Amazon Music have selected Jayden Ahmad Potts (Jackson State University), Amir Duke (Morehouse College), Jasmine Gordon (Spelman College) and Zsana Hoskins (Howard University) as recipients of the Your Future Is Now scholarship.
The HBCU students will receive $10k for the 2022/2023 school year and the opportunity to be part of an immersive rotation program with Amazon Music and Recording Academy department leads.
To coincide with these scholarships, the BMC and Amazon Music will also award two HBCUs a $10k grant each for equipment for their music programs (recipients to be announced later this summer).
"As part of our commitment to advance Black music, we've created another opportunity for Black rising talent to enter the world of music and entertainment with the second annual Your Future Is Now scholarship," said Ryan Butler, VP of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the Recording Academy.
