The GRAMMY Signature Schools program honors public high school music programs with awards and cash grants. Understanding that many schools struggle to maintain music classes, we established the Enterprise Award for programs from low income schools.

GRAMMY Signature Schools string quartets were invited to perform at Borders locations in honor of Borders Member Appreciation Month.
