API Announces Saul Walker Memorial Scholarship

API has opened submissions for its tenth annual API Saul Walker Memorial Scholarship award. Formerly known as the API Visionary Scholarship, the API Saul Walker Memorial Scholarship honors API co-founder Saul Walker, who lent his brilliance to several institutions and shared his passion for audio through teaching for many years.

API believes that academic excellence in sound training can be facilitated by using high quality analog equipment in the audio lab. The API Saul Walker Memorial Scholarship is offered as a way to give back to the audio community, and encourage audio students to work with analog gear early on in their education.

The scholarship application consists of several short essay questions, and a submission of the applicant's best audio work. Applicants must attend a higher education facility with an API console in order to qualify for the scholarship. Past years have brought in applications from around the world, with musical selections ranging from classic rock covers to original orchestral compositions, and many varieties in between.

API will accept all applications postdated before the May 1, 2017 deadline, and winners will be announced by June 30, 2017. For more information regarding the scholarship, as well as the application forms and a complete list of qualifying schools, please visit the company's website at the URL below.
