Funder AI policy

Can applicants use AI on an application to National Society Daughters of the American Revolution?

No.

The DAR Academic Works portal page carries the NSDAR Statement on Plagiarism and Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which applies to DAR scholarship applications. Advise applicants that generative AI may not be used to compose any part of a scholarship application, and that all written content must be the applicant's own work. The pages give no AI guidance for reviewers, and the statement does not mention the grant programs.
