BOSTON, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For the third year in a row, Berklee Online is joining forces with the non-profit Women in Vinyl and famed amplifier manufacturer Marshall, to offer a $5,000 scholarship for one recipient to study music business at the acclaimed online music college. This scholarship is intended to support a career trajectory of a female or female-identifying person who is interested in vinyl and physical media.
"We are thrilled to be collaborating with Berklee and Marshall, as this provides us all with the opportunity to directly help someone into the field while furthering the mission
of Women in Vinyl," says Jenn D'Eugenio, founder of Women in Vinyl.
To apply for this scholarship, applicants must submit a 500-word essay that shares their background and answers the following questions:

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.
Founded in 2002, Berklee Online is the premier innovator and largest provider of worldwide music education, offering more than 75,000 lifelong learners from 164 countries the renowned curriculum of Berklee College of Music, at a fraction of the cost.
