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.
