Charity and giving back to the community are important bulwarks of Freemasonry and Scottish Rite. Giving to the next generation is a small, but important act we do to help make a better future. In Scottish Rite, we do this through the Abbott Scholarship, and The Council of Deliberation has been hard at work reviewing applications. We are pleased to announce that the following individuals were awarded Abbott Scholarships for the 2024-2025 school year.
