  The Supreme Council is pleased to announce an expansion of the eligibility criteria for Abbott Scholarship awards. Named for Leon M. Abbott, Sovereign Grand Commander from 1921 to 1932, the Abbott Scholarship Program provides financial support for the continuing undergraduate and graduate education of Scottish Rite Masons, young men and women from Scottish Rite families, and Masonic-related youth groups.

  Eligibility - those meeting any of the following criteria are eligible to apply for the Abbott Scholarship program for undergraduate studies:

• A Scottish Rite Mason of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction.
• A student directly related (bloodline or by legal means) to a Scottish Rite Mason in the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction.
• A Scottish Rite Mason, or a member of a youth organization sponsored by the Masonic fraternity in the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction.
• A high school senior, currently accepted at an accredited trade school who has attained a minimum grade point average of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale.
• A high school senior, or undergraduate, or graduate student currently enrolled at an accredited college or university.

   To apply, applicants should print the form, complete it, and mail it to the appropriate Valley secretary. Applicants should submit their application to the Valley of the sponsor of the applicant. 
   To apply, please visit Scottish Rite Northern Masonic Judication at https://scottishritenmj.org/abbott .  

 This document has to be on Jim Brady's desk April 15th - no exceptions. So, it would be wise to bring this document to a Scottish Rite meeting, or Reunion, before the 15th or if you mail it, you need to get it in early.
