Scholarships

In 2010 New Hampshire Consistory voted to name the scholarships it awards each year in memory of William E. Bryant.  Bill was Commander-in-Chief of New Hampshire Consistory, a Thirty-third Degree Scottish Rite Mason, a recipient of the Meritorious Service Award, and a tireless supporter of the Scottish Rite charities.
The William E. Bryant Scholarship Program provides financial support for the continuing education of New Hampshire Scottish Rite Masons, their family members, and members of Masonic-related youth groups in New Hampshire.

Eligibility – To be eligible for the program, applicants must meet the following criteria.  Either be:

• A New Hampshire Scottish Rite Mason of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction who is in good standing, or
• A student related to a current or deceased NH Scottish Rite Mason in the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, or
• A member of a youth organization in New Hampshire sponsored by the Masonic Fraternity.

To be considered for a Bryant Scholarship, the applicant must be:

• A high school senior currently accepted at an accredited trade school who has attained a minimum grade point average of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale.

Applicants will be considered for both the Bryant Scholarship and the Abbott Scholarship.  The application forms are meant to be filled out online, then submitted with the required documents to scholarships@nhconsistory.com.  
Applications should also include the applicant’s eligibility. For instance, if a grandfather is providing eligibility, submit the application his name and member number (if known).  If qualifying by membership in a Masonic Youth Organization, submit forms noting the pertinent New Hampshire Chapters and Assemblies, referenced below.
