Although several colleges offer degrees and certificates in genealogy, not everyone has the time and resources to take advantage of them. Newcomers to the field of genealogy seeking instruction have a number of options that include formal classroom courses, online genealogy courses, and intensive week-long seminars. Most of these options cost, so here are some genealogy scholarships available to potential students of any age.

The National Genealogical Society (U.S.)

The National Genealogical Society offers two scholarships for those who wish to complete the NGS Home Study Course. This at-home class covers the basics of genealogical research, and includes lessons requiring hands-on experience in libraries, courthouses, and other repositories.

  • NGS Home Study Course Scholarship Award. This scholarship, which covers the complete cost of the NGS American Genealogy: A Home Study Course, is offered each year. Those wishing to apply must write an essay and have “demonstrated serious interest in genealogy by attending regional and/or local conferences, undertaking genealogical training, and subscribing to genealogical publications." Deadline for applying is January 31; you must be a member of NGS to apply.

  • Rubincam Youth Award. The Rubincam Youth Award is given each year to two students, one in the Junior category (grades 7-9), and one in the Senior category (grades 10-12). Both awards include a scholarship that covers the NGS American Genealogy home study course and a one-year membership in NGS. Senior winners also receive a $500 cash award. Applicants prepare a three-generation genealogy meeting certain specific requirements. Deadline for applying is January 31; you do not have to be a member of NGS in order to apply.
