The Scholarship Committee of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of South Dakota is proud to announce that applications are now being accepted for the 2026 scholarship cycle. This year, the Grand Lodge will award ten $2,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors.

In a commitment to long-term academic success, these scholarships are awarded for one year but may be reapplied for annually for a maximum of five years, provided the student remains in good standing.
Interested students can find the application materials on the Grand Lodge website at https://sdgrandlodge.org/ under the “Programs” tab by selecting “Scholarships.” Completed applications should be returned via email to: office@sdgrandlodge.org.
