The Hoover-based Lily of the Cahaba Chapter of National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) is looking for applications for its scholarships.

The organization awards more than $150,000 through more than 25 scholarships to young individuals for their outstanding academic achievements. DAR Scholarships are offered for a wide range of disciplines including history, medical, nursing, music, law, education and more.
