DAR Good Citizens This committee was created in 1934 as the DAR Good Citizenship Pilgrimage, because the state winners, senior girls from four-year high schools, received a trip to Washington, DC. In 1952 the name was changed to DAR Good Citizens Committee and monetary awards were presented to winners. This committee recognizes and rewards high school seniors who possess good citizenship qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism in their homes, schools, and communities. Each award is given on a merit basis including completion of a questionnaire, essay, scholastic record, and a letter of recommendation. United States citizenship is not required. National awards for the first, second, and third-place winners include scholarships to the school of their choice.
