The Kate Van Winkle Keller Fellowship for Research in Early American Music and Dance supports research at AAS for scholars at all levels (graduate student to senior scholar) engaged in scholarly research and writing on American music or dance, which must be appropriate to research collections at the AAS. It is open to individuals affiliated with academic institutions as well as independent scholars. Awardees who are not currently members of the Society for American Music will also be awarded a one-year membership in SAM. Fellows are selected on the basis of the applicant's scholarly qualifications, the scholarly significance or importance of the project, and the appropriateness of the proposed study to the Society's collections. Preference will be given to individuals who have not held long-term fellowships during the three years preceding the period for which the application is being made. The length of the fellowship is one to two months during the period of June 1 to May 31. Two letters of recommendation must be submitted. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the American Antiquarian Society for more information.
