In order to complete the cover sheet an applicant from the Folger Consortium will need to contact his or her campus representative to the Folger Institute and obtain the representative s signature.

Fees Registration fees are waived for consortium affiliates. A limited number of fee waivers are available to independent scholars by application. These grants are funded by the annual membership fees of consortium universities.
Travel Indicate the type of travel and the cost per trip.
Train and air fares are reimbursed at the lowest available rate and are not guaranteed to cover the full amount of expenses incurred. Because the Folger is a short walk from Union Station and a short Metro ride from National Airport, ground transportation expenses in Washington are minimal and will not be reimbursed. Automobile travel is reimbursed at the current federally determined rate. Should their schedules permit, program participants are encouraged to take advantage of research time in the Folger collections. If needed, one night s lodging is routinely awarded to program participants.
