Funk Fest | New School Scholarship

For more than 20 years, the Funk Fest has attracted music enthusiasts from across the globe who enjoy partying with a purpose while celebrating the rich cultural heritage of different musical genres. The traveling music tour that features some of the best in today’s (and yesterday’s) hip hop, R&B & soul artists.  Good Music. Good People. Good Times. With classic hits by legendary artists like Frankie Beverly and Maze and the Ohio Players, to the sounds of contemporary music’s heavy hitters like Jill Scott and Outkast, Funk Fest delivers an all-star line up that has the “old school,” “new school” and everyone in between jamming all night long.

While Funk Fest brings exciting concert programming to the cities it visits, it also aims to positively impact those communities too. This year, Funk Fest and  its community partner Lifting As We Climb  will contribute $50,000 in scholarships and support for local programs across all ten concert cities. In addition to the scholarships, Funk Fest will also be offering 40 youth unique career immersion experiences, giving them the opportunity to shadow Executives in Marketing, Public Relations, Production and Operations in the days leading up to and on-site at each concert.
