BT has joined a list of big names (including Paul Simon, Steve Vai, Phil Ramone and even Bill Cosby) to sponsor a Celebrity Online Scholarship Program for future students of Berklee School of Music. From the website:

The Celebrity Online Scholarship Program is designed to reward and assist outstanding online students who demonstrate superior performance studying in Certificate Programs at Berkleemusic.

Berklee has partnered with a growing list of celebrities to help our most promising online students achieve their dream of a life in music. These celebrities all support music education through their work and Berklee is proud to be associated with them.

The student recipients of each Celebrity Online Scholarship will receive an award of $1,250 to be used towards paying their tuition and helping them achieve their goals.
