Scholarships
The Indiana Freemasons are dedicated to supporting post-secondary education for their members and families. Please help us to support this very important program by considering a donation to this very important initiative.
Who is Eligible for a Grand Lodge Scholarship?
The first priority will be given to Indiana Master Masons in good standing and to the sons, daughters, adopted sons or daughters, stepsons or stepdaughters, and orphans of Indiana Master Masons in good standing. Grandchildren are also eligible to apply but will be given secondary priority.
Students must maintain a full-time status (a minimum of 12 credit hours) at an Indiana College or University. Scholarships cannot be used at out-of-state schools.
Regrettably, all qualified applicants cannot receive a scholarship. Selection will be based on several criteria such as evidence of academic achievement and community service.
It is our desire to aid as many students as possible, therefore, we will give priority to those who are first or second-time appliers.
When can you Apply?
The Grand Lodge Scholarship application is an online application, which is normally available from mid-January through the end of March.
How do you Apply?
The Grand Lodge Scholarship application must be filled out online; there is not a hard-copy application available from a Lodge.

To start an application, you will need your sponsor’s Member ID, Last Name, and Date of Birth to validate your sponsor’s membership. After your sponsor’s membership is verified, you will have an option to start a new application.
