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.
All application materials must be submitted by 15 January 2025 for the 2025 Conference.
