The ASCAP Foundation Launches New Scholarship for Women Songwriters
The ASCAP Foundation launches a new scholarship for women hoping to get into the largely-male field of songwriting.
The ASCAP Foundation has launched the new “In Her Voice” scholarship which will provide funds to female-identifying music makers who are trying to break into the songwriting field. While the USC Annenberg School Inclusion Initiative study in 2024 has shown that representation for women in the songwriting field has been increasing in recent years, rising from 14.1% in 2022 to 19.5% in 2023, there is still a long way to go before writing rooms reach gender parity. “We hope this scholarship will help advance the careers of promising female-identifying songwriters and in the process, promote equity and inclusion in higher education and in the music industry,” said The ASCAP Foundation Executive Director Nicole George-Middleton.
