Aztec & Bloomfield High School Scholarships

San Juan Masonic Lodge #25 of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons is a fraternal organization that believes in the importance of charitable works within the community.  We annually offer scholarships to graduating seniors in the Aztec and Bloomfield High Schools.  In 2007, we are offering ten (10) $1,000.00 scholarships.

The scholarships will be awarded for two semesters at $500.00 per semester and will be paid to the winners at the beginning of each semester.  The check will be mailed to your college and will go to your account (Note: We require proof of admission to the college of your choice be mailed to San Juan Lodge at the beginning of each semester prior to your scholarship check being sent out).  The selection criteria are not primarily academic; acceptance into any college is sufficient evidence of academic performance.

To compete for one of the scholarships:

1. Fill out the application.
2. Type a letter to the lodge explaining why you are a good candidate for the scholarship.  This letter should briefly describe your educational goals and how this scholarship will help you attain those goals.
3. Type an essay that is 150 words or less, on separate sheet of paper, discussing one of the following topics:
   • The importance of charitable organizations in your community;
   • The contributions that charitable organizations have made in your community; or,
   • Contributions that you have made in your community.
4. Provide a copy of your latest high school transcript.
5. The deadline for applications to be received by the lodge is April 1, 2007.  Successful candidates will be notified by mail no later than May 1st.
