Summit Scholarships for Working Musicians

In order to make sure that musicians are not left out of the music/technology debate, we have created artist scholarships for this event. This way, many of the audience participants are those who have the biggest stake in the policy debate – musicians themselves.

In the past, thanks to some generous contributions from foundations, technology companies, sponsors, musician advocacy groups, 200 musicians have been able to attend the Policy Summit for free.

We achieves a similar level of support this year and were able to offer 100 scholarships for our 2006 Policy Summit in Montreal.

Note that the scholarship only waives registration fees. FMC cannot cover travel or lodging expenses.

The application process is now closed, but it was simple. Scholarship applicants filled out an online form, giving us a paragraph or two that described their musician background and explained why they were interested in receiving a scholarship.

After hitting "submit", the info was sent to us, where it was reviewed by our musician scholarship coordinator. He then informed forlks via email about the status of their applications.

Help us help more musicians!

You can help us to have as diverse and enthusiastic audience as possible by letting other musicians, label mates, and songwriters know about the Policy Summit and the scholarship opportunities. Add a linked image to your website or MySpace page.
