History

In 1998 the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania set aside a fund to generate income for scholarships exclusively for the Acacia Fraternity in Pennsylvania. In 2008 the administration of this program was assigned to the Educational Endowment fund Committee of the Pennsylvania Masonic Youth Foundation.

How to Apply

Members of Pennsylvania Chapters of the Acacia Fraternity may apply by using the standard PMYF Scholarship Application. You do not need to meet the other PMYF eligibility standards to apply for the Acacia Fraternity scholarships, (but if you are qualified, and provide all of the requested information, you will be automatically considered for them.)

Proof of Eligibility

In order to prove your membership in the Acacia Fraternity you need only to check "Yes" on the application question "Are you a member of the Acacia Fraternity?" We will verify that you are enrolled through the national Acacia Fraternity Headquarters.

Award Criteria

The Educational Endowment Fund Committee has the authority to award the scholarship money in any amount it chooses, and may vary the number of scholarships given per year. They will take into consideration all the information in the application to make its selections. In general, however, awards may be made in the amounts of $1000-$3000, and may be single or multiple year awards.

Notification

All applicants will receive written notification of the awards made by May 31st.
