Music Unites Jamaica Foundation has assisted outstandingly talented music students for years, such as Jamaica's most outstanding Classical Guitar player Shawn Richards; internationally successful bass player Alvis Reid; or Jenneta Brown, Keturah Gray, Jubesha Keize and Maricka Marsh who gained their Early Childhood Music Education Masters, at the world-renowned ORFF Institute in Salzburg, Austria, and the University of the West Indies.
JMD $500,000 will be dedicated to the 'Karen Smith Scholarship' assisting a talented final year student with financial needs to finish the Bachelor of Music Degree at the School of Music in Kingston. Jamaica's beloved song bird Karen Smith made her transition on September 11, 2021. Thanks to the kind sponsorship of the Embassy of Belgium in Kingston, a full scholarship in the name of the talented singer Tiffany Thompson has been awarded to the final year School of Music student of vocal studies Rhonda Davis. Tiffany Thompson was one of the most promising and talented vocalists of Jamaica, who passed away suddenly on March 29, 2021, at age 30.
