This is your chance to let them know that Washington Masonic Charities has scholarships to award.

To provide better support and assistance for our Masonic family, Washington Masonic Charities Scholarship Committee has made changes in our scholarship awards focus. Washington Masonic Charities will provide post-secondary scholarships exclusively for deserving members of our Masonic family to pursue college, university, or vocational/technical education after high school. This does not replace or affect Lodge scholarships, which are awarded independently by local Lodges.
