M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet Fund Grant

The M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet Fund supports doctoral and post-doctoral musicological research in France, honoring the legacy of M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet, a distinguished scholar of French music. The fund primarily benefits students from North American universities, providing awards typically ranging from $500 to $5000.
