Greetings Brethren,

It’s getting closer to submitting those Scholarship nominations.

1. Applications can be downloaded and printed from

https://www.freemason.com/charities/scholarships/

2. Applications are Due March 1, 2026

3. Applications must be mailed to:

Scholarship Chairman

8th Masonic District

314 Todds Ridge Road

Wilmington, OH 45177-1401

4. Applications are not to be submitted by email.

5. Applicants must be graduating high school students in 2026 to qualify.

6. Applicants must submit all requested documents for consideration.

7. Applicants must apply to the Grand Lodge District in which they live, NOT where they go to school.

Applicants should begin the process early and gather all necessary documents and letters of recommendation ahead of time.

According to the Grand Lodge website:

Download and complete the Application, which is a fillable Word Doc.

Submit the completed application and supporting documents to the Scholarship Chairman.

Please review instructions on completing the year’s new requirement that the student must complete a FAFSA application and receive a Student Aid Report (SAR), which lists the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) on the first page. Applicants must provide the first page of the SAR with their application, and this figure will be used in the determination of financial need.

The completed application must be mailed to the scholarship chairman by March 1st.

Fraternally,

RWB Dale L. Sullenberger            RWB Paul W. Clark
