Worshipful Master Note:

Support of the American Public School System has been a cardinal teaching of the Masonic Fraternity from its very inception. To reflect

this belief, the Masons of Iowa established an Iowa Masonic Scholarship Endowment Fund. This is the 41st year that Iowa Masons have presented scholarships to graduates of Iowa’s public high schools. Scholarships are based on Leadership, Community Activities & Involvement, Academic Record and Need.

Thanks to the support and generosity of Iowa masons, this year, 60 students (out of over 900 applicants) were awarded scholarships in

the amount of $2,000 in July.

On behalf of over 23,000 Iowa Masons, I was pleased to present a scholarship to Emily England of Andrew High School.

Congratulations Emily and continue to do well in School.

There is a 2nd Degree @ Helion.
