Each year, the Foundation offers Professional Development Scholarship Grants to help qualified professionals maintain their competitive edge in new technologies or new approaches to electronic communications. Grants may also be available to individuals just entering the field but with little or no experience. The grants are awarded to assist with tuition at recognized and reputable institutes and seminar programs. The prestigious Sony Training Institute in San Jose, CA provides grants for 2004.
These grants make targeted education available to those who otherwise would not have access to it. For those just entering this fast-paced industry, the grants are a much-needed boost in starting a career.
