The Organology Study Group Travel Grants, administered by the American Musicological Society (AMS), are designed to support students and recent graduates with research interests in organology or related fields of music and material culture. The program aims to reduce barriers to participation in the AMS Annual Meeting and to foster connections with a network of organology scholars. In years when the AMS Annual Meeting is held online, recipients receive complimentary registration and a one-year membership in the American Musical Instrument Society (AMIS), rather than travel support. The grant encourages academic and professional development by facilitating engagement in Organology Study Group activities and conference sessions.
