Description
The AMS Organology Study Group Travel Grants program assists students and recent graduates with research interests in organology and music/material culture studies to participate in the American Musicological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting. The grant aims to defray costs associated with conference attendance and encourages engagement with the Organology Study Group’s activities, connecting recipients to a scholarly network. Established in 2024 with support from the American Musical Instrument Society (AMIS), the program typically offers travel support, but in 2026—because the meeting is online—recipients will receive complimentary registration for the virtual event and a one-year complimentary AMIS membership.
