The Newman Student Award Fund also periodically awards the Theodore John Schultz Grant for Advancement of Acoustical Education. This grant provides partial support (typically $3,000) for the development of improved teaching methods, new curricula, or research in architectural acoustics education. Applicants must have teaching experience in acoustics and should manifest a strong desire to develop improved methods and materials for teaching architectural acoustics.
