MTN Foundation has commenced calls for entries for the Musical Society of Nigeria (MUSON) scholarship program 2022.
According to a statement obtained by TechEconomy, the scholarship, currently in its 16th year, is an annual award that provides young talented, and eligible Nigerians with an opportunity to study music for two years at the leading music academy in Nigeria, MUSON, for an internationally recognized Diploma in music on graduation.
