Jay Z's Roc Nation company will be partnering with Long Island University Brooklyn to launch the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment.
The new school will start enrolling students for the 2021 fall semester and 25% of incoming freshman will receive Roc Nation Hope Scholarships enabling them to graduate without any debt.
In a statement Tuesday, Roc Nation CEO Desiree Peres said,"We’re excited that The Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment will provide unique insight, knowledge and experiences for students and introduce the world to the next generation of unmatched talent”.
In addition to learning from professors, students will also engage with guest artists and lecturers and will gain hands-on experience through internships. Starting in spring 2021, the school will launch summer residential camps for high schoolers and Saturday programs for students ages 10-18 that focus on music and sports management.
