The Louise Cuyler Award Travel Fund
In 2007, the Office of Development authorized the Musicology Department to direct part of the annual revenues from the Louise Cuyler Endowment to reimburse some expenses graduate students incur when they deliver papers at national conferences sponsored by scholarly societies. Endowment support is not available for service on panels, committees, or functions other than reading a formal paper eligible for the Louise Cuyler Prize. The definition of “national” is interpreted broadly, but unquestionably includes the annual meetings of the American Musicological Society, the Society for Ethnomusicology, and the Society for American Music. Please address questions concerning other conferences to the department chair, who will bring them to the department for consideration prior to application.
Along with an application form, please submit to the department chair the abstract submitted to the conference, together with a two-page elaboration of the paper topic; a copy of the letter or email accepting the paper; and a proposed budget, estimating as precisely as possible the costs of conference registration, travel, and lodging. The Award does not cover meals. The faculty will review application materials on a revolving basis at department meetings throughout the academic year. Preference will be given to applicants who also document requests for matching funds from other University sources.
Maximum awards for travel from the Louise Cuyler Endowment : $300 domestic / $500 international.
Awardees will be reimbursed from the Endowment after having submitted to the department chair original receipts in the three categories noted above (conference registration, travel, and lodging) along with a detailed break-down of expenses. Students are eligible for one travel award per University year (fall + winter terms) even if the total of the award is less than the stated maximum. Applications for reimbursement for travel to summer meetings should be made at the beginning of the succeeding fall term.
