Grants, Bursaries & Prizes
Since 2005 the MSA administers an annual pool of funding for various purposes:
- A Student Prize
to be awarded to a paper presented at the National Conference. - Student Travel Grants
to help fund expenses of student members who present papers at National Conferences. - Indigenous Scholarships (Travel Grants)
to assist indigenous MSA members attend the National Conference. - Bursaries for Indigenous Presenters
- Don & Joan Squire Award
for Voluntary Services to Musicology in Australia.
Finances permitting, the intention is for this practice to continue.
The MSA Awards Committee administers these awards, bursaries and grants.
In 2010 the MSA assisted 23 students in presenting papers at the joint Musicological Society of Australia/New Zealand Musicological Society conference in Dunedin, New Zealand.
With the conference taking place in Perth, Western Australia in 2011, we expect to be able to offer a similar number of travel grants, and warmly encourage Australian and New Zealand students to submit abstracts and apply for travel assistance as soon as their abstracts have been accepted.
Scholarships to assist MSA indigenous members (current or intentional, who need not be students) with the expenses of travel to the 2011 conference are also available.
