Rosalía Scolarship

For the second consecutive year, Rosalía is awarding a scholarship to the student who earns the flamenco singing spot in the Bachelor’s Degree in Higher Artistic Education at ESMUC.

A former ESMUC student in the flamenco singing specialization, ROSALÍA seeks to strengthen the connection between talent and education by ensuring that the student who meets all the admission requirements and secures the sole place in this specialization for the 2025–2026 academic year can fully focus on their studies without financial concerns.

Comprehensive support for artistic education
The ROSALÍA Scholarship, valued at €15,000, is designed to fully cover tuition fees and contribute to the cost of living in Barcelona. This scholarship symbolizes the inseparable link between talent and training, recognizing that while talent is the spark that ignites an artistic career, solid education is what keeps that flame alive. With this financial support, the aim is to ensure the student can devote themselves fully to their studies, developing their full artistic potential in a stable and supportive environment.

A growing project with a future vision
ROSALÍA continues the initiative she began last academic year, offering support throughout the four years of the program, reinforcing her commitment to education and artistic development.

How to apply for the scholarship
The scholarship is intended for the student who successfully passes the admission tests for flamenco singing studies.
