DJ Khaled Offers a Scholarship to Attend Roc Nation School of Music, Sports and Entertainment

Are you looking to attend the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports and Entertainment next Fall? If so, you may have the opportunity to get your tuition paid in full.



Grammy-winning musician and entrepreneur DJ Khaled announced that he will be offering a prospective student a full-ride, four-year scholarship to attend the Long Island University Brooklyn campus.



The Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment is a historic collaboration between Jay-Z's entertainment company, Roc Nation, and Long Island University, which began Fall of 2021. Students attending the school are interested in a wide range of careers in performance, entrepreneurship, all aspects of music, and sports business management.


Khaled has a passion and love for giving back and this is another opportunity for him to do just that. “Me and my queen ever since we been together, even before we met each other, we both had a love for giving back,” Khaled said. “Giving back has always been a priority in my life and her life. We’re raising our kids to see that you have to work hard but also always give back and show love. We have a team that works year-round nonstop on how can we give back, do more, uplift, inspire, motivate and hug all the kids in need. Inspire them to keep going and not just the kids, but also the families, the mothers and fathers and give out scholarships.”


Khaled joins a growing roster of luminaries that have provided scholarships for students looking to attend the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports and Entertainment at LIU, including Megan Thee Stallion, LaMelo Ball and Grammy Award-winning audio engineer and producer Gimel "Young Guru" Keaton.
