Sprint and Prince Royce Launch The Dreams Academy as Part of #LiveUnlimited Initiative

The Dreams Academy kicks off with musician contest; winner receives $10,000 and one-on-one mentorship with Prince Royce

OVERLAND PARK, Kan — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Sprint (NYSE:S)
award-winning musician Prince Royce are teaming up
to launch The Dreams Academy, part of #LiveUnlimited initiative to
assist people in pursuing their life-long goals. The Dreams Academy will
provide aspiring artists and innovators resources – including contests,
grants, internships and mentorship opportunities – to help guide their
journey.

To celebrate the launch of The Dreams Academy, Sprint and Royce are
kicking off a music contest, awarding $10,000 and a one-on-one
mentorship session with Royce to one grand-prize winner. Two runners-up
will each receive $5,000. Additional categories within the program will
be added in the coming months and may include such topics as technology,
entrepreneurship and community activism.

“Prince Royce has said that Sprint was a catalyst for him pursuing his
dreams, and now he and Sprint want to give back and help others who are
committed, driven and willing to work hard to achieve their career
aspirations,” said Alberto Lorente, Sprint vice president of
multicultural marketing.

In April 2015, Prince Royce, a multi-platinum superstar, again became
part of the Sprint family to develop and amplify unique music-related
initiatives and programs. Royce began his relationship with Sprint as an
employee in New York while pursuing a career in music. He used his
Sprint earnings to record the demo that helped launch his first album
and kick-start his musical career. Both Sprint and Royce believe in
championing ALL dreams and look for creative ways to help individuals
and communities stay connected and truly live without limits.

“There is no better partner with whom to launch this program than our
friend Royce, who, like many of us, know the journey to pursuing your
goals first-hand,” said Lorente. “We aim to make a significant impact in
encouraging and empowering individuals to share and follow their dreams.
Through The Dreams Academy, part of the #LiveUnlimited initiative, we
will get to support, connect and see customers’ ideas come to life and
that for us is part of what our mission is all about.”
