Contests and Awards

American History Essay Contest

Christopher Columbus Essay Contest

DAR partnered with the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) in 1996 to sponsor an annual national essay contest in honor of Christopher Columbus.

The contest is open to students in grades nine through twelve. Each year the DAR and the NIAF agree upon a topic and contest instructions are published online and sent to the schools by participating DAR chapters.

DAR Good Citizens Awards

Each Spring the Estudillo Chapter, NSDAR presents a DAR Good Citizens certificate and pin to an elementary school student in the San Jacinto Elementary School District. The candidate students are selected by their teachers. Additionally, DAR Good Citizens awards are presented to deserving students from our local high schools.

The John Diggs History Award is an endowment fund set up by a former member, Margaret Jahn, in memory of her mother and grandmother. The award is named after Captain John Diggs, Mrs. Jahn's American Revolutionary War ancestor. The scholarships are given to four seniors selected by the faculty of the history department of the local high schools.
