The Ohio Society Daughters of the American Revolution awards $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors, including certified home-schoolers, who are U.S. citizens and legal residents of Ohio headed to an accredited U.S. college or university. DAR membership or family connection isn't required, but every application must carry a sponsorship letter from a local Ohio DAR chapter. Applicants submit a transcript, three to four letters of recommendation, a 500-word essay on a set topic, and a statement about their own candidacy. Awards are placed on deposit with the student's college, and any unused portion reverts to the Society.
