The Josh Fund

Facilitate and support access and opportunity to the world of music for aspiring musicians and in doing so honor the memory of Josh Markowitz: musician, composer, producer, and entrepreneur. Josh believed that music is transformative, empowering the lives of youth, turning dreams into reality. To honor this belief, family & friends have established a fund to support and nourish aspiring young musicians. By appreciating music that came from all over the world, Josh understood that his own music could be sent out and shared all over the world. He believed aspiring, talented artists shouldn’t find their reach limited by their circumstances. That belief, and now that legacy, will live on forever in support of musical inspiration and the unhindered chance to apply and share it. Financial support will be provided in the form of a scholarship or scholarships to qualified students pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree and entering the final years of study at the University of the Witwatersrand School. Separately, additional financial support in the form of mini grants will be considered, empowering aspiring artists to share their music with the world.
