Set the Stage

The Black Scholars Initiative (BSI) was established in 2017 as a campus-wide program for Berklee College of Music and Boston Conservatory at Berklee students. BSI offers multicultural and intercultural programming that highlights the African diaspora's contributions to Berklee and the arts, while supporting students in reaching their personal, academic, and artistic goals. With that in mind, we welcome first year students to campus through our annual pre-orientation program, host programs during the academic year like community dinners and professional networking events, and provide students with mentoring and student leadership opportunities. By supporting the Black Scholars Initiative (BSI) through Giving Day you will contribute to our on-going efforts to ensure that we continue to support students persistence, engagement and progress to degree completion.
