The Australian Acoustical Society (AAS) Education Grant has been established to encourage and enhance the study of acoustics in Australia and in particular to encourage research in acoustics. 

The main criterion is the likely benefit that the successful completion of the proposed project will provide for acoustics, for the AAS and for its members.

The Education Grant was renamed the 'Richard Booker Education Grant' in 2020 in memory of Mr. Richard Booker (Hon. MAAS) and his contribution to the AAS and its objectives.

Examples of projects likely to be viewed favourably include:

• One whose outcomes would enable a significant number of AAS members to resolve community or environmental problems more satisfactorily;
• One which involves collaboration between education/research institutions and industry based organisations;
• One which would produce good publicity for the AAS and for the science and practice of acoustics in Australia;
• One which enhances the quality or quantity of educational offerings in acoustics in Australia.

Any educational institution, companies and organisations, professional, student or layperson may submit an entry for the grant.  Entries are limited to one per person or group per annum.
