Good news for emerging artists: Applications are now open for the 2025 Justin Cosby Scholarship. In addition to the scholarship, a raffle has opened, with proceeds going towards nurturing future music talent.
Established in honour of the late Justin Cosby, the renowned A&R Director of Inertia Music, who passed away in 2021, the scholarship returns through the Australian Institute of Music (AIM) in 2025.
The prestigious scholarship throws its support behind one exceptional student per year studying for the Bachelor of Arts and Entertainment Management degree.
