Elliott Antokoletz Fund

The Elliott Antokoletz Fund for research in twentieth-century music is a memorial to Elliott Antokoletz (1942-2017), one of the foremost scholars and teachers of twentieth-century music. The grant is given annually to one or more doctoral students at or PhD graduates of North American universities to conduct doctoral or post-doctoral musicological research on twentieth-century music. The fund specifically supports research involving music-centered approaches to creativity in twentieth-century music, including composition, improvisation, and performance. The average award amount is typically between $500 and $1,500, though applicants may request up to $5,000. Preference is given to applicants whose home institutions do not offer financial support for musicological research. Funds awarded must be applied to travel and research undertaken between May 1 and April 30 of the following year.
