The Center for Renaissance Studies and the Folger Institute at the Folger Shakespeare Library collaborate to serve members of each institution's consortium.

For Members of the Center for Renaissance Studies Consortium

You may be eligible for funding to travel to the Folger for programs or research. First, apply to the Folger for a program or research opportunity. Next, contact your consortium representative to apply for funding. Each consortium member institution has their own requirements, procedures, and deadlines for these applications.

For Members of the Folger Institute

Folger Consortium members receive priority in selection for Newberry programs. If your institution is a member for the Folger Consortium but not the Center for Renaissance Consortium, please indicate your membership status when you apply for a program.
