The Minnesota Masonic Charities Matching Funds Scholarship program helps create positive community awareness of Minnesota Masonry and of the local Masonic Lodge or Order of the Eastern Star Chapter while providing worthy students with much needed financial assistance.

Minnesota Masonic Charities offers participation in the Matching Funds Scholarship program to all Minnesota Masonic Lodges and Order of the Eastern Star Chapters on a first come-first served basis. Many local community Lodges or Chapters administer their own scholarship programs. They then apply to MMC for matching funds for the scholarships they award in their community.

If you would like to contact the local Lodge in your community to see if they offer scholarships and participate in the Matching Funds program, find a lodge using the Grand Lodge of Minnesota’s Lodge locator.

Beginning in fall 2011 the Minnesota Masonic Charities Matching Funds Scholarship program will be administered through Minnesota Masonic Charities (not through the Grand Lodge of Minnesota). Application information and deadline requirements for the 2012 Matching Funds Scholarship program will be provided directly to all Minnesota Masonic Lodges and Order of the Eastern Star Chapters in early 2012.
