The 2016
American Society of Genealogists (ASG) Scholar Award is open to those
interested in applying.
Established in 1996, the ASG Scholar Award is an annual scholarship now
providing an increased stipend of $1,000 toward tuition and expenses at one of
three major academic genealogical programs in the United States . Candidacy for the
award is open to all genealogists, genealogical librarians, and researchers
working in related fields. Applicants submit a published work or a manuscript
of work in progress, to be judged by a panel of three Fellows. The goal of the
award is to recognize talent and build genealogical expertise by providing
promising genealogists the opportunity to receive advanced academic training in
genealogy.
The ASG Scholar Award provides financial assistance for a developing
scholar to attend one of five academic programs in American genealogy: the Institute of Genealogy and
Historical Research (IGHR) at Samford
University (Birmingham, Ala.), the National Institute on
Genealogical Research (NIGR) in Washington,
D.C., the Certificate Program in
Genealogical Research at Boston University, the Salt Lake Institute of
Genealogy (SLIG), or the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP). The recipient may register for the program of his or her
choice.
You can read the full details on Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter. The deadline for applying
is 31 August 2015.
