Elliott Antokoletz Fund

Eligibility

Elliott Antokoletz Fund, with an application deadline in April, offers one award in the amount of $5000.

Description

The Elliott Antokoletz Fund for research in twentieth-century music is a memorial to Elliott Antokoletz (1942-2017), one of the foremost scholars and teachers of twentieth-century music, whose work, insights, and phenomenal accomplishments emphasizing the creative aspects of music inspired decades of students. The Elliott Antokoletz Fund accepts applications from doctoral students at or Ph.D. graduates of North American universities to conduct doctoral or post-doctoral musicological research involving music-centered approaches to creativity in twentieth-century music (composition, improvisation, performance). If they seek to conduct research for their dissertation, they must have completed all other requirements for the Ph.D. If they seek to conduct post-doctoral research, they should have completed the Ph.D. within the past five years. Preference will be given to applicants whose home institutions do not offer financial support for musicological research. Aside from the application and research information, one letter of support to be submitted by a scholar familiar with the applicant's work is also required. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Musicological Society for more information.
