API has opened submissions for its Fourteenth Annual API Saul Walker Memorial Scholarship.
Formerly known as the API Visionary Scholarship, the programme honours the late API co-founder and 2019 Technical Grammy Award Recipient, 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 must be facilitated by using high-quality analogue equipment in the audio lab. The API Saul Walker Memorial Scholarship is one way API gives back to the audio community, and invests in audio students who work with analogue gear during their education,’ the company says.
The scholarship application consists of a short essay 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 emailed or postmarked before 3 May 2021, and winners will be announced by 30 June.
