2026 Scholarship Recipient

“Being selected as a recipient of the Justin Cosby Scholarship is a true honour. This opportunity will allow me to dive headfirst into both the logistical and performative sides of the music industry, something I am incredibly grateful for.

The cliché ‘music is my life’ genuinely resonates with me; it reflects who I am at my core. Knowing that Justin shared this same passion makes this scholarship even more meaningful and inspires me to contribute to the industry in my own way while honouring his legacy.

I am deeply thankful for this opportunity. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey, and thank you, Justin.”

2026 Scholarship Recipient

"I’m truly honoured to receive The Justin Cosby Scholarship. It’s an incredible opportunity to further develop my skills and deepen my understanding of the live music industry.

2025 Scholarship Recipient - now withdrawn

“Receiving the Justin Cosby scholarship this year has been such an amazing honour. Not only because it will provide life-changing financial support for my studies, but also because it helps me contribute to Justin's legacy in a meaningful way. 

I got into music when I received my first guitar for my tenth birthday. I was instantly hooked, and I knew straight away that I wanted to be a famous artist when I grew up. But now that I have grown up (a little), the plan has changed, and I want to create an impact in the world of music marketing and entrepreneurship.

I'm greatly inspired by Justin and his co-founder Ashley, and I'd love to start my own music/creative agency in the near future. 

Thank you again to everyone involved.”

2024 Scholarship Recipient

“Having the opportunity of the Justin Cosby Scholarship has been an honour.

I’m told Justin was a total music enthusiast, which is the quality I will look to bring to what I hope will be my journey into the music industry.  I’d like to thank all the donors to the scholarship, I can’t describe how much it means to me. 

The first half of my degree has been grounding and encouraging for my personal and professional development. I’ve never been happier to be working towards a career in music.

Thank you all. "
