NSDAR offers 26 scholarships through the DAR Scholarship Committee. Scholarships are available in General Studies, History, Nursing, Music and more. Even though the largest number of scholarships is awarded to recent high school graduates, advance degree scholarships are also available. To receive a DAR Scholarship, no affiliation with DAR is necessary unless specified, but applicants must be citizens of the United States and must attend, or plan to attend, an accredited college or university in the United States. Applicants can get detailed information on scholarships available and applications by visiting DAR’s public website at www.dar.org, clicking on National Society, then on Scholarships and following the prompts. Completed scholarship applications must be submitted using the online Application Submission Portal found on the DAR’s public website (Scholarship webpages) since e-mailed and mailed applications are no longer accepted. Students can submit and upload all of their required information using the portal. Once students have set up their on-line scholarship profile, individuals and schools wanting to submit confidential information on the student’s behalf may do so ( letters of recommendation and official school transcripts). Also students are able to contact a scholarship chairman by e-mail to ask questions about each specific scholarship. The chairman‘s email address is located on the website. The 2020 DAR Scholarship applications became available online on August 1,2019. All scholarship applications are to be submitted no later than February 15, 2020 at 12 midnight

The Hunt Leadership Scholarship is one of the most generous and prestigious leadership scholarships in the country, and it allows students to combine learning and leadership in a unique way at SMU. We are looking for 20-25 students each year who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership in high school and who will passionately pursue leadership as Mustangs. Hunt Scholars take a leadership development course together during their first semester on campus, study abroad together, enjoy wide access to the Tate Lecture Series, engage with campus, community, and world leaders, and create a lifelong network of leaders by working alongside one another. We are also very excited to introduce an alumni mentoring program for junior Hunt Scholars this year; it will be a fantastic way to grow the students' networks and prepare them for what is to come after their graduation from SMU.Students selected as Hunt Leadership Scholars for the Class of 2024 will receive an annual Hunt Scholarship of $43,000 or a total of $172,000 over four years. The Hunt Scholarship may be stacked up to tuition and fees with need-based aid, outside scholarships, and many of SMU’s departmental scholarship, but it will replace and supersede any centrally administered merit aid. Additionally, the Hunt Scholarship covers full tuition and airfare for a leadership-based study abroad program during May term following the scholars’ sophomore year.Our application deadline is January 15, and I would encourage you to send any of your interested students my way. I would love to answer their questions about the application or the program itself. We are looking for the top student leaders in your school, with the hope they will bring their leadership gifts

to SMU and become an integral part of our community of world changers.For more information about the Hunt Leadership Scholarship, check our website, smu.edu/hunt,

The deadline for the Annual Cameron William Selmon Scholarship will be January 31, 2020. This year five scholarships in the amount of $5000 each will be awarded. Applicants may apply at www.JusticeForCameron.com .

Bryn Mawr Road ScholarsWe know that visiting campus is a huge benefit for students navigating the college search process, but we also recognize that the cost of visiting campus can be a barrier to many students. We want to make the campus visit possible for more students, which is why we are launching a new fly-in program, Bryn Mawr Road Scholars. Bryn Mawr will fund Road Scholars' travel to campus for one of three selected Senior Stay programs throughout the fall. During the Senior Stay, Road Scholars will have opportunities to connect with Admissions, attend a class, sleep in the dorms, and explore all our community has to offer. Bryn Mawr's Road Scholar program is designed to support high school seniors who come from historically underrepresented backgrounds, including African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, and First-Generation students. To learn more about the Road Scholar program, please click here.

The program is for leaders who desire to serve as an officer in the United States Navy or Marine Corps and lead America’s finest in the Naval Services. Additionally, the NROTC program at OU offers an opportunity to compete for a $3,000 freshman scholarship that is awarded in the fall semester based on academics, physical fitness, and performance in the unit.

The NROTC unit does not pay for any of the costs associated with their schooling, and at the end of their freshman and sophomore years in college, they have an opportunity to earn a three-year or two-year scholarship, respectively. If students participate in this program, they need to be prepared to pay for the full cost of college for the first two years at the university. The College Program application process runs from January 1–May 1 each year for the upcoming fall semester.
