Boardman native earns scholarship for music business
LOS ANGELES
Nico Ruggieri, 21, a Boardman native and a student at Berklee College of Music in Boston majoring in music business and management, is this year’s recipient of the $10,000 Steven J. Finkel Service Excellence Scholarship.
The scholarship was established to support the ever-growing customer service expectations of fans, artists and employees within the live entertainment industry.
Already brimming with new ideas on how to enhance customer experience, Ruggieri has impressed his professors with his passion for music, interpersonal and leadership skills, talent as an emcee, business savvy, and strong desire to make positive change for students and audiences alike.
Ruggieri is a student ambassador and recruiter in the admissions office at Berklee College and has served as a house manager at the Berklee Performance Center and the Boston Lyric Opera.
“Receiving this scholarship while entering my senior year at Berklee serves as the pinnacle of my achievements,” said Ruggieri. “I plan to continue my diligent work by being one of the first students to complete all three major paths in music business – management, marketing and entrepreneurship – by May 2020.”
The scholarship was announced by Live Nation, the world’s leading live entertainment company, in partnership with the nonprofit House of Blues Music Forward Foundation.
It is one of four scholarships presented to college students pursuing music industry careers, and is based on academic performance, leadership skills and a passionate commitment to the live entertainment experience.
