“Music is my life. It talks through me; it lives in me. Having a scholarship is reassurance that I am not alone in the pursuit of my dreams as a musician.”

Edgar Sanfeliz-Botta, , Institutional Scholarship

“Thank you for giving me an opportunity to get more of an education.  I hope it continues so you can help other kids as well.”

Joshiba Jean-Charles, Spector-Lieff Scholarship

“It’s my chance to make a better future for myself without being in a bad financial situation, such as student loan debt, or not attending college at all. Without my scholarship, there would have been no way for me to seek the degree that I am currently pursuing. The scholarship that I currently hold is helping me pave the path towards my goals and future career.”

Jacqueline Hernandez, Institutional Scholarship

“It’s a really good opportunity for a lot of people like me who maybe wouldn’t be able to have experiences like those that I’ve had (performing with the FIU Jazz Big Band at the Adrienne Arsht Center).”

Osvaldo Vargas, Wertheim Scholarship
