Agnes Pruyn Chapman Chapter Announces DAR Good Citizens
By Staff Report-
Each fall, four Kosciusko County high schools have the opportunity to choose one senior student who exemplifies dependability, service, leadership and patriotism, according to a news release from DAR.
Students may elect to participate in the DAR Good Citizen Scholarship contest by providing a resume, grade transcript, letters of recommendation and write an impromptu, timed essay on the provided topic. This year’s scholarship essay title was “Our American Heritage and Our Responsibility for Preserving It” with the focus question of “How do the combined actions of so many good citizens keep our nation moving forward?”
The DAR Good Citizens are Tucker Carlile, Joy Hanes, Samantha Kolberg and Arika Warren.
