SLIG Scholarship Deadline is June 1st!

We are pleased to announce that applications are currently being accepted for the following SLIG scholarships.

UGA Jimmy B. Parker Scholarship:

Named in honor of Jimmy B. Parker, this scholarship recognizes those who have “demonstrated a commitment to genealogical excellence and community involvement.” Parker’s legacy of more than 50 years of service serves as the guideline for the application essay detailing how attending SLIG will help the applicant enhance their ability to serve or prepare them to give back to the genealogical community.

Laura G. Prescott SLIG Scholarship: 

This new scholarship was created by the friends and colleague to honor Laura’s legacy. Her professional accomplishments, passion for genealogical education, and significant contributions to the community were earmarked by an infectious smile and positive attitude.

SLIG Scholarship for First-Time Institute Attendees: 

Created in 2016 to help first-time institute attendees take advantage of this unique type of educational experience; open to researchers of all levels.

SLIG Intermediate Foundation Scholarship: 

New this year, this scholarship reaches out to those who haven’t yet attended an institute and need to strengthen their research knowledge and skills at an intermediate level in order to prepare to attend future institutes.

Deadline: 
Applications for these scholarships are due no later than June 1, 2019. Winners will be announced on or after July 1, 2019.
