One scholarship will be granted in each of the Masonic Districts in the Grand Lodge of Ohio. There
are currently 25 districts, but that total could be altered if the Grand Lodge performs any
redistricting.
Each scholarship will total $2,000 and will be paid to the institution of higher education, which the
recipient is attending.
Recipients may be Master Masons or relatives of Master Masons.
The application/selection process will be as follows:
1.) Uniform application forms will be developed and used by the Districts for all applicants.
2.) Each District will have a Scholarship Committee to review application forms and make
recommendations to the Grand Lodge Scholarship Committee, to be appointed annually by the
Grand Master. The District Deputy Grand Masters in each District will select the District
Scholarship Committee and oversee their work.
3.) Each Masonic District will recommend and submit between two and four names of individuals to
the Grand Lodge Scholarship Committee for consideration.
4.) The deadline for submitting scholarship recommendations from each District to the Grand
Lodge Scholarship Committee will be April 1 each year.
5.) The actual recipients to receive the scholarship will be selected by a Grand Lodge Scholarship
Committee.
6.) If the recipient is a graduating High School senior, it is intended that a Masonic District or local
Lodge representative would attend the High School graduation or awards ceremony, and
personally present a certificate acknowledging the Masonic Scholarship.
Each scholarship recipient will be strongly encouraged to attend the Grand Master’s Reception in
the District and make a few remarks.
A public relations effort will be conducted each year by the Grand Lodge, both within the fraternity
and to the general public, related to the scholarship program.
The Grand Lodge Scholarship Committee, working with the Grand Master, will conduct continuing
fund-raising efforts for the Scholarship Foundation.
