Eugene K. Wolf Travel Fund
for European Resarch
The Eugene K. Wolf Travel Fund is intended to encourage and assist Ph.D. candidates in all fields of musical scholarship to travel to Europe to carry out the necessary work for their dissertation on a topic in European music. The fund will award one or more travel grants each year to students attending North American universities who have completed all requirements except the dissertation for the Ph.D. in any field of musical scholarship and who need to undertake research in Europe toward the dissertation.
The application should be in the form of a statement of up to 1,000 words describing the research topic, a research plan, projected itinerary, and institutions where research would occur. It should also provide a budget for travel and lodging. The latter should state the amount of support that can be provided by the applicant’s home institution, if applicable. Letters of support are required from the dissertation advisor and one other scholar.
Applications for the following AMS travel and research grants will be reviewed by a single committee. Since the terms for these grants have overlapping areas of emphasis, applicants may request to be considered for more than one, if appropriate. A place to indicate which travel grant(s) you wish to be considered for is found on the Application cover sheet. Although applicants may request to be considered for several grants, only one travel grant may be awarded to successful applicants. No individual may receive a travel grant more than once in a three-year period.
