The filing states that applications can be obtained from the AES website or by writing to AES headquarters, and that applications, recommendations, and other materials must be typed or printed. Applicants must have completed an undergraduate degree at a recognized college or university, demonstrate a career commitment to audio engineering or a related field, have acceptance or a pending application for graduate studies leading to a master’s degree or higher (or an internationally recognized equivalent), and be an AES member in good standing. The website’s FAQ says graduate studies applicants must be current AES members and that two references should be from a major professor or academic adviser and one from a non-educator or distinguished professional.
