Frederick V. Hunt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Acoustics
The F. V. Hunt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship was established by the Society to carry out Professor Hunt's wish that his estate be used to further the science of, and education in acoustics. Fellows receive a stipend, provided jointly by the Hunt estate and a fund established by the Acoustical Society, to support their research on a topic in acoustics at an institution of their choice. One Fellowship is usually awarded each year. A notice giving qualifications and soliciting applications for the Fellowship is published in a spring issue of JASA, for the academic term beginning in the fall of the following year.

The Acoustical Society of America established a Minority Fellowship in 1992 with the goal of supporting minority students in their pursuit of graduate-level degrees in acoustics. Recipients have been:
This scholarship, which was established through a grant to the Acoustical Society Foundation in 1998, honors the memory of Professor Raymond H. Stetson, a pioneer investigator in phonetics and speech science. Its purpose is to facilitate the research efforts of promising graduate students and postgraduates. Recipients have been:
The Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography was established in 2000 from a grant made to the Acoustical Society Foundation by Herman and Eileen Medwin to recognize a person for the effective use of sound in the discovery and understanding of physical and biological parameters and processes in the sea. Recipients have been:
The Rossing Prize in Acoustics Education was established in 2003 from a grant made to the Acoustical Society Foundation by Thomas D. Rossing to recognize an individual who has made significant contributions toward furthering acoustics education through distinguished teaching, creation of educational materials, textbook writing and other activities. Recipients have been:
A gift to the Acoustical Society Foundation made by the family of the late Robert W. Young in his honor has been established to grant undergraduate student research awards.
Recipients have been:
The Klatt Memorial Fund was created in 1989 jointly by the Acoustical Society of America's Technical Committee on Speech Communication and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation to create a research grant in speech science in honor of Dennis Klatt. The $5,000 Research Grant in Speech Science is designed to further research activities in the areas of speech communication for individuals having received a doctoral degree within the last 5 years. This grant is supported by the Dennis Klatt memorial fund. For information on how to apply for this grant, vist the ASHA Foundation at
