The Cornelia Greene Chapter is committed to
education, as are the National and State Societies. As such,
there are many scholarships available through these
groups.
All applicants must be citizens of the United States and
must attend an accredited college or university in the
United States. All applicants must obtain a letter of
sponsorship from their local DAR chapter. The State Chairman
of DAR Scholarships will assist in locating the nearest
chapter. In Missouri, contact Ms. Shirley Brown. In addition, letters of recommendation
are required from the principal, guidance counselor, and
three teachers.
Awards are placed on deposit with the college or
university; any unused portion shall be returned to the
National Society. Awards are judged on academic excellence,
commitment to field of study, and financial need. No
affiliation with DAR is necessary unless specified.
