Brethren,

This year we have THREE scholarships to award to deserving students in our district, and the amount for each is $1,500. Please note the following key points:

• These scholarships are for current seniors in high school bound for college after graduation. They are NOT for students who have already graduated from high school.
• Applications for these scholarships must include a copy of a recent transcript signed by the high school guidance counselor.
• Applications must also include a copy of the first page of the Student Aid Report (SAR) for 2024-2025. The SAR is obtained by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA.) 
• Applications must be received by the district scholarship committee (consisting of the District Deputy Grand Masters) by March 1^st, so applicants should file the FAFSA as soon as possible.
• If the SAR is not available by the deadline for reasons beyond your control, please submit the application anyhow and include a note to that effect stating the circumstances.
• These scholarships are for students who live in the 19^th District. Students living outside the 19^th District may apply to the Scholarship Committee for the district in which they live. A list of the chairmen for all Ohio districts, the application form, and additional information can be found at: https://www.freemason.com/charities/scholarships/
