One of Music Forward\u2019s biggest supporters is Live Nation Entertainment, the world\u2019s leading live entertainment company. Live Nation<\/a><\/span> provides support to the charity through House of Blues revenue streams including Foundation Room member donations, as well as restaurant and retail items designated specifically to benefit the foundation. The company provides access to its venues and professionals for young people across the country to learn first-hand about the music industry. Live Nation also provides the nonprofit with organizational infrastructure which is critical to ensure that the charity invests a majority of every dollar raised directly into programs for disadvantaged youth.<\/p>\n In 2016, Music Forward and Live Nation established three scholarships that cater to different aspects of the industry and the talents required to succeed in each. The program is designed to support students interested in one of the core aspects of the music business, including concert promotion, venue operation, sponsorship, and ticketing. Two of the program\u2019s scholarships were established in memory of Live Nation employees, Steven J. Finkel and Tiffany Green, who went above and beyond in their roles and paved the way for future music industry professionals.<\/p>\n \u201cLive Nation is uniquely positioned to help the next generation of music industry leaders build their foundation and follow their dreams,\u201d Mark Campana, Chief Operating Officer of Live Nation US Concerts has said of the partnership. \u201cMusic Forward has helped us connect with hundreds of distinguished candidates, and I couldn\u2019t be more proud of this philanthropic program.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2019, The Live Nation – US Concerts Scholarship Program awarded scholarships<\/span><\/a> to three deserving applicants. Scholarship applications are accepted annually from January to the end of March, and winners are announced in early June.
