What the Juilliard School's plans to go tuition-free could mean for developing artists
Back in 2018, when William Leathers was a young student in Mississauga, he raised money through a GoFundMe campaign to help cover his tuition to attend Juilliard, the prestigious music school.
Now, that financial factor for admission may soon be lifted for future students, as the Juilliard School recently announced it plans to one day become a tuition-free institution.
Today on Commotion, William Leathers, now the principal trumpet player for the Nashville Symphony, joins host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to share his thoughts on the plans and what it could mean for future students from around the world.
