Corderius M. Webster Memorial Scholarship

Corderius Webster was a 19-year-old college student majoring in music when he passed away.

The music industry remains a heavily white-dominated field, discouraging many minority students from pursuing the field. Additionally, the lack of societal encouragement for students to pursue music and other artistic fields deters many creative and talented students from pursuing their dreams.

This scholarship aims to honor the life of Corderius Webster by supporting students who share his passion for music.

Any male, Black high school senior or undergraduate student who is majoring in music may apply for this scholarship, but applicants in Mississippi are preferred.

To apply, tell us who or what motivated you to pursue music and how you plan to use your music career to make a difference.
