THE NEW ENGLAND REGIONAL FELLOWSHIP CONSORTIUM, a collaboration of over 30 archives, libraries, and historical societies, awards stipends of $5000 annually to support research at participating institutions. THE COLONIAL SOCIETY OF MASSACHUSETTS underwrites a NERFC Fellowship each year for research at these institutions on the history of New England before the American Revolution. Each NERFC itinerary must:
- be a minimum of eight weeks
- include at least three different member institutions, and
- include at least two weeks at each of these institutions
Further information about applications to the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium can be found at https://www.masshist.org/fellowships/nerfc.
