Since 1984, it has supported graduate audio engineering studies through grants, aiding numerous applicants to launch significant careers in the industry.
The Graduate Studies in Audio Grants, specifically the Genelec Mike Chafee Audio Pioneering Scholarship, aim to support outstanding women in continuing their education in audio engineering. This initiative honors Michael Chafee, a key figure in promoting Active Monitoring technology and a staunch supporter of women in the audio sector. The scholarship provides financial aid ranging from two to five thousand dollars, deposited directly into the recipient's tuition account at their graduate institution. This grant program underscores the importance of diversity and innovation in the field of audio engineering through its targeted support.
