Available for aspiring artists, musicians and industry professionals completing BA (Hons) and MA degrees, WaterBear has teamed up with Love Music Hate Racism, Sentric Music Publishing, the Sarah Nulty Foundation and Welsh rock band Skindred to deliver a quartet of scholarships to four lucky WaterBear students across a vast range of disciplines, fronting the expenses of tuition fees throughout their respective degrees.
WaterBear’s previous scholarship recipients are already making waves in the industry, seizing every opportunity to further their careers. Kid Blu3, who will be performing at Worthy Farm’s hallowed ground at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, notably brushed shoulders with industry heavyweights Eminem and Kendrick Lamar when Natural Queen, Kid Blu3’s debut single, reached No.3 on the iTunes Hip Hop Chart. Amanah, known as “Marns”, has already taken to the stage at renowned festivals Love Saves the Day and Latitude Festival alongside her studies in Professional Music. Both artists bring a unique talent and drive, demonstrating the impact of WaterBear’s support in nurturing the next generation of music professionals.
Encouraging students to explore their artistic craft, WaterBear has teamed up with renowned Welsh rock band Skindred, to offer an on-site scholarship. Courses eligible for the coveted award in collaboration with the iconic band, which has been redefining musical boundaries since 1998, include WaterBear’s Brighton-based 3-year on-site BA (Hons) Professional Music degrees in either Performance, Production, Electronic Music, Business or Songwriting.
In another significant partnership, WaterBear has collaborated with Sentric Music Publishing, a leading music publisher dedicated to empowering independent artists, to offer a scholarship award for its 2-year BA (Hons) online degrees in Creative Music Production, and Songwriting & Music Performance.
Further benefitting students, WaterBear has forged a pioneering partnership with Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR), a grassroots campaign founded in 2002 to combat rising racism in the UK. The scholarship will cover all tuition fees for one student throughout their master's degree at WaterBear, with courses eligible including the 1-year on-site MA Music Business, 1-year on-site MA Music Performance, Production & Business, 1-year on-site or online MA Songwriting, and the 1-year on-site or online MA Music Education degree.
The team-up with the Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation, an organisation set up in 2019 in memory of Sarah Nulty, a cornerstone of the Sheffield music scene, will support one student throughout their degree at WaterBear Sheffield. An aspiring industry professional will have the opportunity to study 3-year on-site BA (Hons) Professional Music degrees in either Performance, Production, Electronic Music, Business or Songwriting.
Greg Archer, Careers & Industry Manager at WaterBear, commented: “In the music industry, collaboration is vital for progression and development. Securing several partnerships with such renowned artists and organisations enables us to continue supporting deserving DIY musicians or industry professionals, helping them build sustainable and successful careers in music.”
