Ardmore Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is seeking applicants for five $1,000.00 scholarships being offered by the Oklahoma State Society, NSDAR.
These awards will apply to the fall 2010 semester and are one time awards.
The objectives of the society are historic preservation, promotion of education and patriotic endeavor.
“Offering these scholarships is one method the Society uses to meet its educational objectives,” said Lorna Holloway, chapter scholarship committee chairman. “Our State DAR Scholarship program has been expanded in the past few years as we fully funded our scholarship endowment. This enables us to grant these awards, promotes our educational purposes and gives us the opportunity to assist those students who are in need of help in obtaining their education.”
To qualify, the applicant must be attending the 2009 fall semester in a university or college within the state of Oklahoma and have plans to attend an Oklahoma university or college in the fall semester of 2010.
High school seniors who are concurrently enrolled in an Oklahoma college or university are also eligible.
The scholarships will be awarded without regard to race, religion, sex or national origin. Applications and instructions are available by contacting Holloway (580) 226-3386.
Application deadline is January 31, 2010. Winners will be notified in late March 2010 and will be honored at the society’s state conference in May 2010.
