About

The AMS provides mentorship, professional development, and networking support to its members and constituents. The Sustainable Mentorship Program (SMP) provides robust, year-long mentorship, professional development, and networking support to individuals with advanced training in musicology and related fields.

The Suzanne G. Cusick Professional Development Fund provides $500 professional development and career support grants for scholars of music, sound studies, and musical performance. These grants are intended to support low-income independent scholars, contingent faculty, and individuals whose paid work outside the academy does not offer them access to professional development.
