Dear Brothers,

 

I’m pleased to share that our lodge and Grand Lodge are now accepting applications for a new round of scholarship opportunities. These awards reflect our ongoing commitment to supporting the educational goals of our members and their families.

 

This year, several meaningful opportunities are available:

 

  • Our Lodge Scholarships
  • The New York State Grand Lodge Scholarships
  • The Vocational and Trade School Scholarships (ideal for students pursuing skilled trades or technical training)
  • A New York State Grand Lodge Grant (ideal for college graduates)

 

Each scholarship or grant has its own eligibility guidelines and application requirements, so I encourage you to review the details and consider applying for any that fits the needs of your family members.

 

If you’d like assistance or have questions about the application process, please reach out to Tony Rose. We’re here to help ensure that every eligible member has the chance to benefit from these opportunities.

 

These scholarships and grants are a meaningful way for us to invest in the future of our lodge community. Please share this information with anyone in your family who may qualify and be sure to submit applications before the March 31st deadline.

 

Fraternally,

Matt Coletta

President
