Description
The American Musicological Society (AMS) offers Annual Meeting Registration Waivers to support international participation in its online annual meeting. These waivers are intended for individuals residing in countries with a per-capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) below $41,000, based on the latest World Bank data. The program aims to remove financial barriers for scholars and practitioners who might otherwise be unable to attend due to the cost of US dollar-denominated registration fees. Recipients receive a full waiver of the registration fee, enabling full participation in the AMS online annual meeting and facilitating engagement with the global musicological community.
