The American Bach Society supports the study, performance, and appreciation of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his circle.

The William H. Scheide Research Grants, stipends ordinarily ranging from $500 to $4,000, awarded annually, provide support for research projects on Bach or figures in his circle. The funds may be used to defray travel costs, acquire reproductions of primary sources, or for similar purposes. Although preference will be given to applications from Ph.D. candidates, junior faculty, and independent scholars, senior faculty are also encouraged to apply, especially when institutional research support is limited or unavailable.

Awards will normally go to citizens or permanent residents of the United States or Canada. Applicants must be a current member of the Society; each winner will also receive an additional one-year membership in the Society.
