THE
WESLEY WEYMAN FUND
|
The
Wesley Weyman Fund accepts applications from graduate
students in the Department of Music for financial
assistance with travel and other expenses related to
participation in conferences or other professional
meetings or events. Subsidies are generally modest, and
cover only a part of actual expenses.
Applications
can be made before the scheduled professional event by
sending two copies of a brief letter delivered to the
Chair's Office, Music Building, Harvard University. The
letter should include a line or two about your
participation in the conference or other event, and list
anticipated expenses (e.g. air and ground travel,
lodgings, conference fees, meals, other incidental
costs). Application made after the event should list
actual expenses, but need not include receipts. Please be
sure to indicate if you are presenting a paper or having
a composition performed.
Since
relatively small sums are available, it may be necessary
at times to take into consideration whether or how often
a given applicant has previously been awarded assistance
from the Weyman Fund.
It would
be appreciated if applications to the Weyman Fund for
assistance with expenses of attending Fall meetings could
be turned in by the end of November. Decisions regarding
applications received after the end of November may have
to wait until Spring term.
