I assume the purpose of that money is to help him with his studies... meaning he has to go to Italy a lot... bastard.
Not that I'm jealous or anything. :-P

FYI:
"University of Chicago - People of the Department
Faculty - Philip Gossett
Philip Gossett, Robert W. Reneker Distinguished Service Professor of Music, is a music historian with special interests in 19th-century Italian opera, sketch studies, aesthetics, textual criticism, and performance practice. Author of two books on Donizetti and of Divas and Scholars: Performing Italian Opera (forthcoming, Chicago), he serves as General Editor of The Works of Verdi and of The Critical Edition of the Works of Rossini. His edition of Rossini's Semiramide was published in 2001. Among many awards is the Cavaliere di Gran Croce, the Italian government's highest civilian honor. Professor Gossett has served as President of the American Musicological Society and of the Society for Textual Scholarship, as Dean of Humanities at Chicago, and as lecturer and consultant at opera houses and festivals in America and Italy. He was the musicological consultant to the Verdi Festival in Parma during the Verdi centennial year (2001). Ph.D., Princeton, 1970; at Chicago since 1968."
Sounds like Gossett is a pretty heavy duty music guy. I think he deserves the money, a trip to Italy, and maybe a little free time, to enjoy all he has given to the music community? Lets applaud his work and his award!

Kind of like being jealous about an impoverished Immanuel Kant getting a scholarship to study ... the philosophical world would be a very different (if somewhat lighter) world ... no reason to be jealous at all.
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.
