The E. Power Biggs Fellowship of the Organ Historical Society is awarded to outstanding applicants with a developing interest in the American pipe organ.  The intent of the Fellowship is to introduce people to the historic pipe organ through conventions of the Organ Historical Society. 

Benefits. The award provides financial support for attending a convention, covering registration, travel within the continental US, and lodging and meals during the convention. Some expenses, such as registration and lodging, are paid directly by Society; others, notably travel to the convention city, are reimbursed after the convention

Application requirements. The OHS welcomes and encourages applications from performers, builders, organ enthusiasts, clergy, educators, composers, and virtually anyone who expresses and demonstrates an interest in the historic pipe organ in the US.  There is no age restriction, but preference will be given to applicants between the ages of 18 and 24, to full-time undergraduate and graduate students, and to applicants who have never attended an OHS convention. Financial need will also be considered. Previous Biggs Fellows are ineligible for further awards. To apply, follow this link and complete the online application form or download the printed copy and send it to us by surface mail.
