Adrienne Fried Block Fellowship

About this program

The Society for American Music offers the Adrienne Fried Block Fellowship to support scholarly research leading to publication on musical life in large urban communities, with preference for projects that examine interconnections among groups and organizations and cross-genre participation in metropolitan settings. No more than one award is made each cycle and funding varies with endowment interest (maximum $3,000). Applicants must be members in good standing of the Society for American Music and submit an application form, a narrative up to four double-spaced pages (excluding an optional bibliography) describing scope, significance, and expected outcomes, plus a detailed budget listing expenses and other funding sources or pending applications. The posting lists an October 15 deadline (year not specified), so confirm the current cycle’s deadline with the Society.
