Ora Frishberg Saloman Fund

Eligibility

Ora Frishberg Saloman Fund, with an application deadline in April, offers one award in the amount of $2500.

Description

The Ora Frishberg Saloman Fund is named in honor of Ora Frishberg Saloman, known for her path-breaking scholarship and graduate teaching, notably research in nineteenth-century trans-Atlantic connections between European and American music criticism and reception history. The award is to be given annually to one or more doctoral students at or Ph.D. graduates of North American universities to conduct doctoral or post-doctoral musicological research oriented to music criticism and reception history. 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.
