Try the Fund for Theological Education (fteleaders.org). Right. I know the Disciples of Christ have fellowship opportunities. Other denomination might also as well.

While I am an early Americanist, I don't plan on applying for a few years. I just got my BA and I'm in the museum/non-profit field. Hopefully will pay off my loans before taking the grad school plunge.

I might be wrong here, but it seems that programs with the MA as the highest degree are more likely to fund than programs that offer the doctorate. I'll add Illinois State to the list that funds MAs (tuition waiver + assistantship).

Just to be clear, the OP inquired on the American Revolution/Early Republic. That is not the same as Colonial America, which was provided. For whatever reason, the USNews rankings (which mean nothing) left out the American Revolution through the Gilded Age.
