Illinois Daughters of the American Revolution Scholarship

Illinois Daughters of the American Revolution Scholarship provides financial assistance to high school seniors in Illinois who plan to attend college in the state and major in any field. Each year, Illinois Daughters award college scholarships. These are limited to students who are U.S. citizens, graduating seniors from high school, and those who will attend colleges or universities in Illinois (two year junior colleges and four year institutions). Applicants must have a letter of endorsement from an Illinois DAR chapter. To qualify for the Illinois State Scholarships, a student's financial need and academic consideration are both factors. The General Henry Dearborn History Scholarship has no financial need component, but is for a student interested in pursuing a career in some phase of history. An applicant can reapply for the next year if he/she maintains a “C” average at college. All scholarships are awarded regardless of race, religion, sex, or national origin.
