As part of Universal Filmed Entertainment Group’s (UFEG) overall commitment to increasing diversity, equity and inclusion within all areas of production, the Universal Composers Initiative (UCI) is set up to find artists from traditional as well as non-conventional backgrounds who possess unique perspectives that they can translate into distinct musical expressions.

This two-year initiative, in partnership with Universal Film Music, provides participants with unparalleled access to the studio process, while increasing awareness of this new generation of talent among NBCUniversal’s vast network of executives, producers and directors including Universal Pictures, Dreamworks Animation and Universal Studio Group.

Participants will be provided with creative and professional development opportunities.
Participants may also have the opportunity to pitch for NBCUniversal scoring projects.

The Pinays Rising Scholarship, a program created by rapper and scientist Ruby Ibarra, and San Francisco State professor and founder of Pin@y Educational Partnerships (PEP) Dr. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, was originally founded in 2018 to promote the continuation of higher education while excelling in the areas of arts (visual, performance/music, conceptual, etc.) and/or community service and activism. 

In 2020, the Pinays Rising scholarship attracted 115 self-identified Pinays/xes applicants across the United States who would be attending an institution of higher learning, full time, in the Fall 2020 semester. The program raised over $16,000 in donations in just a few weeks.
