Sourcebook of Financial Support Students and scholars around the world say that one of the things that keeps them from studying or doing research abroad is the expense. Institute officials say that the publications will help students and scholars identify lesser-known sources of potential financial support. They are awarded based on merit and progress toward degrees. The amount of money available depends upon the number of graduate students enrolled, so the number and size of awards varies somewhat each year. Additionally, each year the Music Department awards various prizes and scholarships to registered undergraduate and graduate students.
Additional information is available through the program area heads.
Awarded for excellence in piano performance. Kathryn H. and Donald R. Phillips Music Scholarship Award Awarded annually to an outstanding performance student. Awarded annually to graduate and undergraduate students. The department has a limited amount of funds to help students travel to scholarly meetings to which they have been invited to read a paper, to travel to concerts for which they have been invited to perform, and, for composers, to travel to concerts at which one of their pieces will be played. Students should send a request for funding to the Director of Graduate Studies, and should include the name and date of the event, a copy of the invitation from the organization sponsoring the event, and an estimate of the transportation costs.
