Masonic Scholarships
You Help Make A Difference By RWB Charlie Wiegert, JGW I have had the pleasure the last few years to serve on the selection committee for the Missouri Masonic Scholarship Foundation, and this year as Junior Grand Warden, it is my privilege to serve as Chairman. It is one of those jobs that the harder it is, the better it is. That’s because the job of selecting the Missouri high school students that will be awarded one of our scholarships is difficult with the high number of qualified applications we receive.

So, I’m asking you to make my and the committee’s job as hard as possible this year. Contact the counselors at your local high schools and encourage them to have the best and the brightest high school students at their school submit an application. The rewards could be great for them. One of their students could be awarded one of our scholarships, one of their students could be given the opportunity to attend a college or university that they might not have been able to attend. It could be a life changing experience! Last year we awarded 22 scholarships. Because of you my brothers, because of your contributions, 22 of the brightest Missouri’s high school seniors from last year are attending colleges and universities this year. We have made the difference in the lives of these 22 young people, giving them the opportunity to do something worthwhile with their lives. As Freemasons, our hope to better the world and humanity can come from these 22 young adults. Thank you for your previous and future donations. While we do not know yet the number of scholarships we will be able to award to the class of 2021 graduating high school seniors, we do know we will be awarding scholarships. The task of reaching out to counselors at high schools is something every Page 22

Missouri Mason can do. This year we have made some minor changes to the application form, so it is important to get the new application form to the councilors. The new form is available at www. momason.org under the programs tab. You can download, print and take a few copies to your area high school counselors! A copy will also be sent to all Missouri lodges in their November packet. Scholarships are available to any Missouri high school senior who meets the criteria on the scholarship application and the deadline for applications is March 15, 2021. A high school transcript that includes test scores, grade point average, class rank, etc., is required, along with a list of school activities, awards, offices held and honors received. The applicant must also include a list of community and volunteer activities, and a short essay about why they are applying and their future goals. The Freemason
