The AMS offers a variety of grants to support the development of new musical scholarship and professional travel. Since the terms for these grants have overlapping areas of emphasis, applicants may request, where appropriate, to be considered for more than one.
A common application, due on 1 April each year, is used for eight of these travel/research grants and reviewed by the Travel/Research Grants Committee. In this common application, applicants may request consideration for multiple grants. However, applicants should carefully review each grant program’s eligibility criteria and area(s) of emphasis before applying. Indiscriminate application is strongly discouraged and may lead to disqualification.
