The Society for Seventeenth-Century Music

The Society for Seventeenth-Century Music

Travel Grant

Each year the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music awards a number of Travel Grants on a competitive basis to applicants who wish to attend the Annual Conference and who receive little or no support from their institutions. Priority is given to those presenting papers.

Travel Grant recipients are expected to participate fully in the conference. Each recipient should register for the conference and is expected to attend both the business meeting lunch and the banquet. Upon the presentation of receipts, the grant will reimburse the recipient for the cost of registration, lunch, and the banquet as well as travel expenses up to the total amount awarded.

Application

Applications are accepted online. The application form for 2025 will be available toward the end of 2024. All application materials must be submitted by 15 January 2025 for the 2025 Conference.
