Goals: Education
Awards and Contests
The Delaware Society SAR and its chapters provide awards and contests to encourage
youth to develop their leadership abilities and to excel in making articulate
and compelling presentations on the founding of the United States.
We provide modest awards at the chapter and state level.
At the national level awards of up to $8,000 are presented to the winners.
