Scholarship Fund

A Feather to Fly With—
The Emily Hendrickson Scholarship Fund

Our scholarship fund honors Emily Hendrickson, a Grande Dame of the Beau Monde who was extremely generous with her time in serving others in The Beau Monde with answers to questions. Hendrickson’s The Regency Reference Book was the primer on which many Beau Monde members first learned about the marvelous Regency period. She published more than 50 traditional Regency romances and was the recipient of the RT Best Regency Romance of 1993 for Elizabeth’s Rake. In the last few years, her books have been reprinted in hardcover in England to wild success and as e-books here in the U.S. She passed away in 2019, leaving a lasting legacy few will ever attain.

The Beau Monde’s A Feather to Fly With—The Emily Hendrickson Scholarship Fund is fully supported by donations, not member dues. If you would like to make a donation, please know that your generosity will be most appreciated!
