Adrienne Fried Block Fellowship (Urban musical life)

About this program

The Society for American Music offers a suite of named fellowships and subventions to support research, teaching, creation, and dissemination of musics in the Americas, with awards typically ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 and covering topics such as urban musical life, concert and popular music, racial/social justice, Latin American/Latinx music, women’s and gender studies, and dissertation research. Awards include short research fellowships (e.g., Adrienne Fried Block, Charles Hiroshi Garrett), dissertation support (Margery Morgan Lowens), and publication and student travel subventions. Eligibility and award amounts vary by fellowship: some require SAM membership while others are open to any scholar, independent scholar, educator, graduate student, or early-stage Ph.D. candidate and are awarded based on topic fit and project merit.
