M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet Fund for Research in France

The M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet Fund for Research in France is a memorial to M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet, one of the foremost scholars of French music from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Her research was centered in Paris, where she was a commanding and beloved presence in the libraries and archives. 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 in France. The fund accepts applications from doctoral students who have completed all other requirements for the PhD and are working on their dissertation, or from PhD graduates who completed their degree within the past five years. Preference is given to applicants whose home institutions do not offer financial support for musicological research. The grant provides travel and research support for musicological work focused on France, allowing scholars to conduct research in French libraries and archives. The average award amount is typically between $500 and $2,500, though applicants may request up to $5,000. Funds awarded must be applied to travel and research undertaken within a one-year period following the award.
