The Society for Music Theory’s Accessibility Travel Grant provides financial assistance to members whose participation in its Annual Meeting incurs extra disability-related expenses. The grant focuses on additional costs arising from disability-related needs associated with meeting participation, rather than supporting a separate research or project activity.
The program offers monetary support toward those expenses, not the provision or coordination of accessibility services. SMT does not itself provide, arrange, or recommend any specific services. Applicants explain their disability-related funding needs and disclose other funding available for the conference. The grant is made possible in part by donations to the Society’s SMT-Forward campaign.
