Alvin H Johnson AMS 50 Dissertation One Year Fellowships

Purpose

To encourage research in the various fields of music as a branch of learning and scholarship.

Any submission for a doctoral degree in which the emphasis is on musical scholarship is eligible. The award is not intended for support of early stages of research and it is expected that a recipient's dissertation will be completed within the fellowship year. An equivalent major award from another source may not normally be held concurrently unless the AMS award is accepted on an honorary basis.

Eligibility

Open to full-time students registered for a doctorate at a North American university, who have completed all formal degree requirements except the dissertation at the time of full application. Open to all students without regard to nationality, race, religion or gender.
