Becoming a Singer-Songwriter Idol Scholarship
After watching Willie’s Spence’s breathtaking performance on American Idol with his rendition of “Stand Up” by Cynthia Erivo, we felt compelled to create a scholarship as a way to pay him tribute for his performance.
Willie Spence, like many other minority musicians across the country, is a beacon for young musicians in the US who want to use their voices to express themselves. Willie Spence has solidified himself as a role model and we’d like to make sure his name, like his voice, radiates throughout the music world for years to come.
To inspire the next generation of minority singers, the Becoming a Singer-Songwriter Idol Scholarship will be awarded to one minority student who wishes to pursue their passion for singing and musical performance.
