Virginia and George Bozarth Fund Grant

The Virginia and George Bozarth Fund, established by the American Musicological Society, supports doctoral students and recent Ph.D. graduates from North American universities conducting research in Austria. The fund typically awards between $500 and $5000 annually. Preference is given to applicants whose institutions do not provide financial support for musicological research. This initiative aims to foster academic inquiry and promote equitable access to resources in the field of musicology.
