The scholarship recipients were Juliani Delerme, iTech at Miami Edison Senior High School; Antonella Labrozzi, New World School of the Arts; Cherline Philogene, New World School of the Arts; and Gabriel Pittman, Cutler Bay Senior High School. The recipients were selected by Miami-Dade's Office of Academics and Transformation based on recommendations from the students' Performing Arts teachers, grade point average, and a short essay submission, among other requirements. About the scholarship recipients:
