    Scottish Rite has long been committed to fostering the value of education. The Abbott Scholarships began with a portion of the legacy of the late Leon M. Abbott, 33°, Sovereign Grand Commander from 1921-1932. Each year nearly 400 scholarships are awarded to eligible and deserving students attending accredited colleges, universities, and specialty schools.

Eligibility Requirements

    Applicants must be children or grandchildren of Scottish Rite Masons or members of youth organizations sponsored by the Masonic fraternity. Such Valleys and youth groups must be located in the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. Applicants must be graduates of a public or private secondary/preparatory school.

Amount of Scholarship Aid

    Numbers and actual amounts of grants vary each year depending on available funds. It is hoped that individual grants will range from $500 to $1,000 or more.
