How The Recording Academy & United Are Supporting HBCU Students


How The Recording Academy & United Are Supporting HBCU Students


The Recording Academy is proudly celebrating Black Music Month this June. With support from our partners at United Airlines, the official airline partner of the GRAMMY Awards, the Academy's Black Music Collective is this month celebrating Black and Brown students attending historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

Through this partnership, now in its second year, United recently provided air transportation for a select group of HBCU students to attend professional development programming in New York, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. The Recording Academy, along with its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) team and the Black Music Collective (BMC), culminated this past year of programming with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Made possible by United, 10 HBCU students from across the U.S. were gifted travel to attend the 2023 GRAMMYs, officially known as the 65th GRAMMY Awards, and the coinciding, week-long GRAMMY Week celebration in Los Angeles.

Watch the students experience the immersive GRAMMY Week 2023 program in full and hear directly from them about their HBCU education, career aspirations, and the lessons they learned from this unique initiative.
