Early Music America offers scholarships to performers at all levels of experience to support attendance at early music workshops in the United States and Canada. 

We are not able to proceed with the Annual Workshop Scholarships in 2020, due to the continuing cancellation of workshops and festivals across North America. We hope the program will return in 2021 and expect to post an update by the end of 2020.
