The Daughters of the Cincinnati has been awarding scholarships for many years with the aim to help daughters of the officers in the United States army, so each year the fund gives from $16,000–$20,000 to students who want to achieve higher education goals but have financial issues.
The first Scholarship Fund was established in 1906 for the daughters of United States Army and Navy officers.
From that moment on, the number of scholarships and the amount awarded has increased.
