INFORMATION CONCERNING

SCOTTISH RITE ENDOWMENT GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP
AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
FOR STUDY EXCLUSIVELY AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

*Requires Masonic Background*

The Supreme Council also sponsors scholarships for graduate or undergraduate study at the George Washington University (GWU), Washington, DC, for students who have a relationship with the Scottish Rite. Either the applicant or applicant's grandfather, father, brother, or uncle must be or have been a member of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The applicant must also have achieved academic excellence in high school grades and on national standardized tests. These scholarships are available to undergraduates enrolled in any school or department of the university for 50% of tuition which presently equates to about $13,000 each or $52,000 over four years. While we sponsor the scholarships, we do not directly handle them. Thus when a student applies for admission at GWU, he should include a letter expressing interest in this scholarship. Another means is to list it on the GWU financial aid form. The point of contact for this program is the Office of Assistant Director of Admissions, Telephone No: 1-800-447-3765.

In the case of graduate work, fellowships of up to $10,000 toward tuition, established through income from a Scottish Rite endowment given to the George Washington University are awarded annually to full-time graduate students in the School of Business and Public Management, the Elliott School of International Affairs, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Graduate School of Education and Human Development, Columbian School of Arts and Sciences, or School of Medicine and Health Sciences at the George Washington University. The contact person for the graduate program is Ms. Geri Rypkema, Director, Office of Fellowships and Graduate Student Support, Telephone No: 1-202-994-6829.
