USA - WSDG has announced the foundation of the Nancy Flannery Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship – named for the long-serving partner/CFO of the firm who passed away in 2023 – is offered through the AES Educational Foundation and was created to provide opportunities to women pursuing graduate-level studies in architectural acoustics.
The scholarship is available solely to AES-member students. The AES Educational Foundation is currently accepting applications through May 15. For more information, visit: https://www.aeseducationalfoundation.org/scholarships
“Nancy was the lynchpin of WSDG for many years – an incredible organiser and powerful spirit who saw us transform from a small, local operation into the global force for architectural acoustics and systems design that we are today,” stated WSDG co-founding partner John Storyk. “To that end, we’re proud to honour her memory through this scholarship programme.”
“Education and intellectual diversity have always been core values of WSDG from the very beginning, so we’re glad of the opportunity to elevate women in this niche field.”
The AES Educational Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to encouraging the entry of talented students into the pro audio and audio engineering fields. The foundation’s scholarship programmes are offered by members and participating organisations affiliated with the AES.
