Grand Lodge of Florida Public Education & Citizenship Scholarship

The Grand Lodge of Florida’s Public Education and Citizenship Scholarship Program supports graduating Florida high school seniors who plan to continue their education at a state-supported college, university, community college, technical college or other eligible public postsecondary institution in Florida.

Applicants complete a scholarship application and submit an original essay on the topic “Why Education is Important.” In the most recently published program, essays were required to be 1,000-1,250 words and were evaluated for content, organization, grammar, spelling and overall quality.

The most recently published statewide program offered ten $1,000 scholarships. Scholarship funds are paid directly to the recipient’s educational institution.

Application requirements, award amounts and deadlines may change from year to year. Students should check the Grand Lodge of Florida website for the current scholarship application and deadline.
