The Paul Charosh Independent Scholar Fellowship is administered by the Society for American Music (SAM) to support scholarly research in American music. Its primary aim is to provide resources and recognition to independent scholars—those who do not hold traditional academic or institutional appointments—enabling innovative and impactful research projects that advance the understanding and appreciation of American music. The fellowship is part of SAM’s broader commitment to fostering music scholarship at all career stages and especially supporting those working outside standard academic structures.
