The scholars were selected on the basis of their academic performance and financial need. The scholarship provides a $1,000.00 grant to a high school or undergraduate student who has been accepted, or attends full time enrollment, in an accredited college or university leading to a Bachelor’s Degree.

The competitive scholarship was open to all students, whether or not they have Masonic connection.  Children and relatives of Masons were encouraged to apply. Three of the ten awardees are related to Freemasons.

The Scholarship Committee was composed of WB Robert Schultz (chair), WB Serafin Colmenares, Jr., WB Richard Huston, and WB Wilson Camagan.
