Scholarship funding is provided, in part, through DAR fund raising; but thanks is due one very generous McHenry County family that has provided the majority of the scholarship dollars for a number of years.

The DAR, founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children.
