NSDAR awards a variety of scholarships through the DAR Scholarship Committee. All applicants must be citizens of the United States and must attend, or plan to attend, an accredited college or university in the United States. All scholarships of four or more consecutive years or more are renewable only upon review and approval of annual transcript by respective NSDAR Chairman.

Applicants must obtain a letter of sponsorship from their local DAR Chapter. Please obtain the name of your current state chairman, who will assist in locating the name of the chapter nearest you. Application forms for all scholarships may be obtained by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Office of the Committees, NSDAR, 1776 D Street NW, Washington, DC 20006-5303. Any requests without the self-addressed, stamped envelope will be discarded.

Only applications completed correctly and submitted in one package will be considered. Incorrect applications are discarded and no records are returned. Scholarships are awarded regardless of race, religion, sex, or national origin. Personal photographs must not be submitted. Only winners are notified by the National DAR Scholarship Chairman following the approval of a ruling by the Executive Committee of NSDAR.

Some consecutive year rulings require additional NSDAR Executive Committee rulings and require that an official transcript be sent from the school to the National DAR Scholarship Chairman; please note this. Students are eligible for one scholarship only from NSDAR.

Please note that high school seniors are eligible for the following scholarships: The Aura Lee A. Pittenger and James Hobbs Pittenger American History Scholarship, the Nursing Scholarships, the Margaret Howard Hamilton Scholarship, the Lillian and Arthur Dunn Scholarship, and the Nellie Love Butcher Music Scholarship.

Awards are placed on deposit with the college or university and any unused portion shall be returned to NSDAR. Awards are based on academic excellence, commitment to field of study, and/or financial need, or other restrictions on specific scholarships. No affiliation with DAR is necessary unless specified. The scholarship packet must be postmarked on or before the deadline indicated for each specific scholarship.
