The Grand Lodge of Iowa awards twenty-five scholarships each year to graduating seniors from Iowa public high schools -- fifteen at $5,000 and ten at $2,500 -- through its Masonic Scholarship Endowment Fund. A companion track, the Mark Earl and Esther Ruth Spencer Technical Scholarship, adds ten more $2,500 awards for students headed to a technical or trade program at an Iowa community college. No Masonic membership or family connection is required to apply.
