Genelec is once again sponsoring two annual scholarships: the Genelec Dr. Ilpo Martikainen Audio Visionary Scholarship and the Genelec Mike Chafee Audio Pioneering Scholarship, both of which are presented to U.S. audio graduate students in association with the Audio Engineering Society Educational Foundation (AESEF) and are now accepting applications for the 2022 scholarship season.

Go here to apply; entries are being accepted through May 15.

The Dr. Ilpo Martikainen Audio Visionary Scholarship was established in 2018 in honor of Genelec’s late founder. For many years Dr. Martikainen was involved in the AES, including being presented with the AES Fellowship Award for significant contributions in the field of loudspeaker development in 1993, and in 2015 delivering the Richard C. Heyser Memorial Lecture at the 138th AES International Convention in Warsaw, Poland. This $5000 scholarship is awarded annually to U.S. graduate students in the field of audio engineering who are members of the AES. It’s being offered in association with the AESEF to students who have a passion of advancing audio through innovation and technology development.

The Mike Chafee Audio Pioneering Scholarship was established earlier this year to promote the advancement of women in the audio industry while paying tribute to long-time Genelec manufacturer’s representative, audiophile, sound designer, acoustician, audio evangelist and supporter of women in audio, Michael Chafee. The scholarship is offered annually to U.S. female graduate students in the field of audio engineering who are members of the AES. This $5000 scholarship is being presented in association with the AESEF to female students who have a passion of advancing audio through innovation and technology development.
