What is GRAMMY® U?
GRAMMY U is a unique and fast-growing community of full-time
college students, primarily between the ages of 17 and 25, who
are pursuing a career in the recording industry. The Recording
Academy created GRAMMY U to help prepare college students
for their careers in the music industry through networking,
educational programs and performance opportunities. GRAMMY
U is designed to enhance students' current academic curriculum
with access to recording industry professionals to give an "out of
classroom" perspective on the recording industry.
