The Center for Renaissance Studies is organized as a consortium of 49 universities across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom (see a list of current members). Faculty and graduate students from member institutions may apply for travel funding to attend any Center for Renaissance Studies program, to do research at the Newberry Library, or to attend programs or do research at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC. A consortium committee at each member school considers applications and awards funds. Contact your faculty representative for details; read more about the Center.
Most Center for Renaissance Studies programs are free and open to the public, not just to consortium members, though certain seminars and workshops have limited enrollment and give preference to members.
Funding for the Center is provided in part by the Bernard P. McElroy Fund in Renaissance Studies.
