Support the New England Society Today!
The New England Society (NES), one of the oldest charitable organizations in the United States, has a long, varied history of community outreach dating back to 1806. In 1945, NES launched its College Students' Loaning Fund to provide emergency loans to students at New England colleges and universities. Over 75,000 students received loans during the program's 45-year period. In 1953, NES expanded this program and established the NES Scholarship Program to fund New York City students attending New England colleges and universities. Since the Program’s launch, over 100 scholarships have been awarded. For more information on the Scholarship Program click here.
The Scholarship Program is funded through contributions from members, annual dues and fundraising events, so your support is needed!
