Sons of the American Revolution Scholarships?

Hello,

I was hoping someone here could help me with this. I just found out from my elderly grandmother that I am a direct decendant of a soldier who fought in the revolutionary war. She says she has the documentation to prove it and is sure it can be used to get me a scholarship.

Needless to say this immediately got my attention. I’ve looked this up but info on it is spotty. I was wondering if anyone knows about these scholarships? Would it be a substantial amount? I’ve heard they only grant it for certain majors and I’m a computer science major. I’ve also read they have others that apply to any major. How can I go about finding this out? Thanks!

From what I can tell, the National society only gives them to Eagle Scouts. Different states like VA, GA, IL have their own societies that give out scholarships.
