Genelec Once Again Offers Educational Scholarships via the AES Educational FoundationGenelec is once again demonstrating its dedication to education and nurturing the next generation of audio professionals by 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 US audio graduate students in association with the Audio Engineering Society Educational Foundation (AESEF) and are now accepting applications for the 2022 scholarship season.
