I kinda got nominated and won by surprise… but I’m supposed to do a supervised/proctored writing sometime this week, and I’m curious if anyone who has any good knowledge of this scholarship knows what general topics this would be about? I’m not by any means asking for this year’s prompt, I just can’t find any information online about the award, even on the DAR website. I’d assume it’d be relating to patriotism? Do I need to do like a crash course in American history before writing this thing, or is it fine just having general knowledge?
Congrats! DAR member here. Our Chapter doesn’t participate in this award, but you were nominated by a specific local Chapter (I believe that’s how it works). So there is someone in that Chapter who is responsible for this “committee” and they should be able to give you guidance. Good luck!
