In honor of API Co-Founder Saul Walker, the Saul Walker Memorial Scholarship* is offered by Automated Processes Incorporated in order to encourage further education in the professional audio arts. API believes that academic excellence in sound training can be facilitated by using high quality analog equipment in the audio lab. Use of such equipment will not only enhance the learning experience but produce graduates with an enhanced understanding of the advantages of analog audio in today's music production environments. Scholarships are worth up to $2,000 each.
