Leading Scholarship Provider in Minnesota Announces 2017 Recipients
Minnesota Masonic Charities (MMC) today announced the recipients of its
2017 Scholarships Program. As part of its continuing commitment to
building a better future for Minnesota, the nonprofit organization
provides annual awards to some of the state's most promising scholars.
Since 2008, the organization has provided more than $2 million to fund
Minnesota students seeking higher education. By 2018, Minnesota Masonic
Charities plans to distribute $1 million annually in merit scholarship
awards.
"Our scholars reflect the values and character that are important to
Masons," said Eric Neetenbeek, Minnesota Masonic Charities president and
CEO. "They demonstrate integrity and dedication - two traits we believe
exemplify leadership. We have great faith in the individuals we select
for these awards each year."
MMC offers up to 95 scholarship awards annually. The Signature, Legacy,
Heritage and Vocational scholarships are made available to high school
seniors on an equal opportunity basis, with no discrimination for age,
gender, religion, national origin or Masonic affiliation; and an
Undergraduate scholarship for up to 20 current college students is also
available.
All awards range from $1,000 to $5,000 per year, and students may renew
their scholarship awards annually, provided they maintain scholastic
performance.
Please see the following page for a complete list of the 2017 Masonic
Scholars. For more information about the Minnesota Masonic Charities
Scholarships Program, please contact Kelly Johns, Director of
Communications for MMC, at 952-948-6202 or [email protected].
