The Daughters of the Cincinnati is a not-for-profit society founded in 1894 by women descended from commissioned officers who served under George Washington in the American Revolution's Continental Armed Forces or in the French Royal Forces. They award academic scholarships to daughters of career commissioned officers in the United States Armed Forces and support the preservation of American Revolutionary War history through education and patriotic service.

The Society of the Cincinnati, founded in 1783 and named after the Roman general Cincinnatus, brought together American and French officers who had served in the Revolutionary War to continue their friendships, aid the less fortunate among them, and assist the families of fallen comrades. The Daughters of the Cincinnati, incorporated in 1894, established a Scholarship Fund in 1906 to advance the study of the Revolution's history and instill reverence for the struggle for Liberty. Today, their scholarships are awarded to daughters of career commissioned officers in all branches of the United States Armed Forces based on academic achievement and excellence in extracurricular activities.
