Daughters of the American Revolution Awards $250,000 to History Scholars
Ten students nationwide have received $25,000 scholarships from the Daughters of the American Revolution to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The grants, part of a $250,000 commemorative investment, support scholars dedicated to preserving American history at both undergraduate and graduate levels across the country.
For recipients like Sam Dinnie, a PhD candidate at George Washington University focusing on women in the Revolutionary Era, the funding provides essential stability for research and public history initiatives. While this specific scholarship is a one-time initiative tied to the 250th anniversary milestone, the organization maintains a broader commitment to education, typically awarding nearly $250,000 annually through more than 30 other recurring scholarship programs.
