About the
Quinn Coleman Scholarship

Quinn Coleman was a loving son, brother, cousin and friend, a passionate DJ and an A&R executive with a bright future ahead of him who passed away at the age of 31. At his family’s request, the GRAMMY Museum is honored to establish the Quinn Coleman Scholarship, which will elevate a new generation of Black music creators through financial scholarships and career development programs for college students on a music career path.

Five students will receive a $1,000 tuition scholarship, two $250 book/equipment stipends, a $500 interview prep stipend, a Recording Academy internship for the Spring 2023 semester, and the opportunity to participate in a 6-week immersive program focusing on emotional and financial wellness.
