Margaret Howard Hamilton Scholarship
Offered by Daughters of the American Revolution
About this scholarship
The Daughters of the American Revolution awards the Margaret Howard Hamilton Scholarship to a graduating high-school senior accepted into the Harvey and Bernice Jones Learning Center, which houses the Ben D. Caudle Learning Program at the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas. The program serves students with documented learning disabilities, making this a highly specific institutional opportunity rather than a general DAR scholarship. The award provides $1,000 per year and may continue for up to four undergraduate years, for a potential total of $4,000. Renewal requires annual transcript review by the DAR national scholarship chair. This scholarship is administered outside DAR's normal Academic Works portal: an eligible student must request the application directly from the Jones Learning Center after being accepted into its program. The official DAR page provides the current checklist and application cover sheet but does not publish a universal annual deadline, so applicants should confirm the submission date with the Learning Center instead of relying on third-party January projections. No DAR membership or family relationship is required unless the current application explicitly says otherwise.
