Funding the Scholarships

For over a century, the Daughters of the Cincinnati have proudly funded scholarships for military children, helping the daughters of those who served pursue their education. Our donors, including family foundations, employers of our Daughters, and generations of scholarship graduates and their parents, have kept this promise alive.

But rising tuition costs are outpacing what generosity alone can cover. Every donation to our Military Stars Scholarship fund directly helps a deserving student attend their dream university. Your gift today ensures that the children of those who serve our country can continue to receive the tuition assistance they’ve earned.

The Daughters of the Cincinnati is a 501(c)(3) charity.  Individuals and foundations may contribute any amount as well as appreciated stock to the Scholarship Fund.

“I’m very grateful for the support I received from the Daughters,” writes Kathryn Powell, daughter of a retired lieutenant colonel in the Army and a 2013 graduate of Rice University. “Your scholarship allowed me to go to a school where I was able to pursue my passion in astrophysics. I wouldn’t be where I am today without your help.”

Kathryn is now a PhD candidate in earth and planetary sciences at Washington University in St. Louis.

In addition to sending a check directly to the Daughters, contributions can be made in several ways:
