The Society for Seventeenth-Century Music
2017 Annual Conference Travel Awards

General Fund
To make its conferences accessible to all qualified scholars in the field of seventeenth-century music, the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music offers grants to assist those who do not otherwise have access to travel funds to attend the annual spring conference.
Eligible candidates include students pursuing a degree in music beyond the bachelor’s degree who do not receive adequate travel funding from their home institutions, independent scholars (those with no current institutional affiliation), and junior faculty (those in temporary academic appointments or in the first three years of a tenure-track appointment) who do not receive adequate travel funding from their home institutions. The grant includes up to $750 (or $1000 if traveling internationally) to subsidize transportation costs and a waiver of all conference fees, including those for meals provided by the conference. No applicant may receive a travel grant from the Society in two consecutive years.
Oxford University Press Travel Award
In recognition of the Society’s ongoing advisory relationship with Grove Music Online we have also received a generous donation of $500 from Oxford University Press. These funds can be used for graduate travel only.
To apply for either travel grant, please fill out the online form. A copy of the applicant’s cv and one recommendation letter should also be sent to Wendy Heller, SSCM Travel Awards Committee Chair. All materials must be received by January 15th, 2017.
