The GRAMMY Museum® announced today that 119 talented high school students from 104 U.S. cities and 29 U.S. states have been selected as participants in the 13th annual GRAMMY Camp® program. The Museum's signature music industry camp for U.S. high school students will be held in Nashville, Tenn., from May 30-June 3 at Belmont University, and in Los Angeles from July 18-22 at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music. This GRAMMY in the Schools® program is supported by Converse and Journeys. Additional program support is provided by the Bruno Mars Scholarship Fund, the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Fund, the Recording Academy®, and the Hot Topic Foundation.

"GRAMMY Camp provides a unique, in-depth experience for high school students who are interested in exploring careers in the music industry," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of the Recording Academy and Chair of the GRAMMY Museum Board. "The program engages campers to work collaboratively across their chosen career tracks, so they increase their skills as they move ahead on their musical paths. I have no doubt GRAMMY Camp will produce future GRAMMY® winners such as Maren Morris, who was a participant at our very first GRAMMY Camp in 2005 and received the 2016 GRAMMY for Best Country Solo Performance."

Applications for GRAMMY Camp 2018 will be available online in September at www.grammyintheschools.com. The deadline to apply is March 31, 2018. Financial aid is available and approximately 70 percent of GRAMMY Camp participants who have applied for financial aid have received assistance.
