Housing & Meals

Lodging will be provided at the UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center, within walking distance (three blocks), for $101.64 (including tax x 5 days = $508.20 (or $254.10 if two share a room; the Tsongas Center will arrange sharing for those interested), including air conditioning and all usual services, such as Internet access. Should NEH Summer Scholars wish to come earlier than Sunday or stay beyond Friday, they may need to pay a higher room rate for the extra days. 

The Workshop budget covers one dinner and two lunches (“mill girl” boardinghouse dinner, 1830 fireplace lunch, and a “Meet the Author” box lunch).  The remainder of the meal plan is provided by Aramark, UMass Lowell’s caterer, at an estimated cost of $120 for the week (morning and afternoon coffee breaks, three lunches, and two dinners at the Tsongas Center).  NEH Summer Scholars will be on their own for dinner Tuesday and Thursday night.
