High school seniors selected by an accredited school as its DAR Good Citizen may optionally enter the scholarship essay contest. U.S. citizenship is not required for the Good Citizen recognition itself. Only one student per school per year may be honored.
Scholarships are awarded at chapter, state, division, and national levels. The national essay winner receives a $10,000 scholarship plus recognition at DAR Continental Congress. The number of recipients at other levels varies.
Participation in the scholarship portion is optional and requires a personal statement and essay after selection as the school's Good Citizen. The program, created in 1934, recognizes dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism.
The DAR Good Citizens Award awards $10,000.
