The Daughters of the Cincinnati is a distinguished not-for-profit society established in 1894 by women descended from commissioned officers who served under George Washington in the American Revolution. They honor their ancestors' service by awarding academic scholarships to daughters of career commissioned officers in the United States Armed Forces and supporting the preservation of American Revolutionary War history through education and patriotic service.
Originating from the Society of the Cincinnati founded in 1783 by George Washington, the Daughters of the Cincinnati continue the legacy by promoting the study of Revolutionary history and instilling reverence for the wisdom and determination that secured Liberty. Their scholarship program, established in 1906, provides financial support to daughters of career commissioned officers based on academic achievement and extracurricular excellence, fostering the next generation of leaders in the Armed services.
