Society for American Music Anne Dhu McLucas Fellowship

This fellowship recognizes Anne Dhu McLucas’s contributions to American music studies and her selfless service to the Society, including her tenure as President. She was a brilliant polymath with wide-ranging interests in all things musical, a wonderful teacher, a gifted and supportive mentor, and a path-breaking scholar. The fellowship honors Prof. McLucas’s primary areas of scholarly interest by providing support to a graduate student conducting research (archival or fieldwork) on traditional music (music in the oral tradition) or Native American/First Nation music.

The Fellowship may support research expenses, including but not limited to travel expenses, lodging, media resources, and duplication expenses. The winner of the award is also granted one complimentary year of membership in the Society. The maximum award is $1,000. No more than one award will be offered annually.

eligibility

The Society for American Music seeks to award fellowships to support a broad spectrum of research conducted by society members. Projects that have already received SAM fellowship support (Block, Cone, Graziano, McCulloh, Thomson, Tick) are not eligible to receive the McLucas Fellowship. The fellowship is open to graduate students pursuing research (archival or fieldwork) on traditional music (music in the oral tradition) or Native American/First Nation music.
