Cisco, GRAMMY Museum Announce Music Education Grant Winners

Cisco, the GRAMMY Museum, and the OneRepublic Good Life Foundation have teamed to distribute the 2017 GRAMMY Signature Schools Enterprise Award, 20 monetary grants of $5,000 to public school music programs, and to enable more connected classroom experiences by donating the Cisco Spark collaboration platform to recipients of the award. "We have seen the incredible benefits of our GRAMMY Signature Schools program at work in classrooms across the country, and we couldn't be more grateful to Cisco and OneRepublic's Good Life Foundation for their generous donation," said Scott Goldman, GRAMMY Museum Executive Director.

Music at its core is a collaborative process, and Cisco Spark will foster innovative collaboration opportunities for students and positively impact the way they work and learn. The company's leading work with online networks has already enriched 500,000 concert attendees at dozens of Live Nation venues with WiFi, and it is committed to driving digital transformation in the music industry as well as music classrooms. "We are committed to not only supporting but also rewarding the outstanding work of the students, teachers and administrators at these schools, and hope this donation continues to make music education a reality for students across America," said Maria Dincel, Managing Director, Olympics, Global Sponsorships and Product Placement at Cisco.

Since its inception in 1998, the GRAMMY Signature Schools Program has donated more than $2.4 million in financial assistance to school music programs nationally.
