DAR Scholarship Committee
Gail Bonath, Chairman
Purpose
The purpose of the DAR Scholarship
Committee is to share information about
scholarships offered by both the National
Society and the Iowa Society with your
chapter and with schools in the
communities you serve.
Scholarship chairs should publicize these
scholarships by emailing or writing letters
to your local school counselors. Find out
who the counselors are by Googling the name
of a school system, click on the link for
the high school and then look for the name
and addresses of the high school counselor.
Here is a sample text that you could use in
an email:
School Counselor Letter.
Posters are available for
you to send to high schools, one for the
National Society scholarships and one for the
ISDAR scholarships. You must edit these to
include the name of your scholarship chair,
contact information and chapter name.

NSDAR Scholarships
Each year the National Society Daughters
of the American Revolution (NSDAR) awards
multiple scholarships to students showing
dedication to the pursuit of higher
education in diverse areas of study. DAR’s
scholarships are awarded and judged without
regard to gender, race, color, religion,
national origin, or disability. Applicants
must be citizens of the United States.
For detailed information, applicants
should refer to the NSDAR flier at https://www.dar.org/sites/default/files/members/darnet/forms/SCH-WP-1004.pdf.
All applications are submitted using the
online portal
https://dar.academicworks.com which
opens November 1 and closes January 31 each
year. Emailed and mailed applications are
not accepted. Chapter endorsement of an
applicant is no longer required.
The DAR Scholarship Committee does not
process DAR Good Citizens, American Indian,
or DAR School scholarships.
ISDAR Scholarships
The Iowa Society Daughters of the
American Revolution awards two scholarships
for graduating high school students who plan
to attend a U.S. Department of Education
accredited school of post-secondary
education.
The two scholarships awarded by the Iowa
Society are the ISDAR Scholarship and the
Amelia Jenks Bloomer Scholarship.

Complete rules regarding these scholarships
can be found here.
Each scholarship is $1000. The criteria and
the application process are the same for both
scholarships. Your chapter may nominate only
one student for each scholarship. You may
nominate the same student for both
scholarships if you wish.
The scholarship fund is intended to assist
worthy young people to complete a higher
education. The applicant must be an American
citizen, an Iowa resident and be of good
character.
Completed applications for Iowa Society
scholarships are due to the Scholarship Chair
by February 1. Scholarship
applications may be emailed to isdarscholarship@gmail.com
or mailed via USPS to the committee chair.
