SMPTE Scholarship Announced

SMPTE's 2014 Louis F. Wolf Jr. Memorial Scholarship is to be presented on 23 October during this year's Honors and Awards Ceremony at the culmination of the 2014 Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition in the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Hollywood, California.

The Louis F. Wolf Jr. Memorial Scholarship is "designed to help students further their undergraduate or graduate studies in motion pictures and television, with an emphasis on technology."
This year's scholarship will be awarded to two students: Victoria K. McGowen and Matthew Ross Donato, both students at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Each student will receive $1,500 in scholarship funds, and both will be attending SMPTE 2014 to accept their awards.
"The dedication of our two award winners to the motion-imaging field and their remarkable enthusiasm for the field make it a pleasure to recognize Victoria and Matthew with this year's Louis F. Wolf Jr. Memorial Scholarship," said Wendy Aylsworth, SMPTE president and senior vice president of technology at Warner Bros. Technical Operations. "While it is wonderful that this scholarship will support both students' further advancement toward very promising careers, it is equally fabulous that it brings Victoria and Matthew to SMPTE 2014 to join their colleagues in examining and discussing the technologies shaping the motion-picture industries."
