The F. Russell and Ruth Greenspan Trust was established by a Past President of the Philadelphia Continental Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (PCCSAR) and his wife. They wished to endow competitive scholarships for College or University students who will enter the fall term of the academic year in which they expect to receive a baccalaureate degree. These are mostly Juniors entering their Senior year in a traditional 4-year program. However, non-traditional  students such as those in a 5-year program, co-op students, early finishers, etc. are also eligible. Applicants will be judged on the extent to which they advance the three SAR principles of being patriotic, historical, and educational as embodied by our ancestors who fought in or supported the American Revolution. Generally, eligible students will be majoring or minoring in a study of American Government;  American History; Political Science; Law and Jurisprudence; Preservation of Archives, Documents, Historic Buildings, Monuments, or Places; or a similarly focused academic program. An interest in the Revolutionary War era is a bonus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
