Masonic Lodge Gives Four $1500 Scholarships

Four deserving students got a helping hand with their post-secondary education thanks to the United-Peninsula Masonic Lodge No, 24.

The students, from Parklands, Stelley’s and Claremont schools, each received a $1500 scholarship for further academic study.

The scholarships continue a tradition at the Lodge. The earliest record of a scholarship from the lodges associated with the current United-Peninsula Lodge was from 1960, when a $250 donation was made to Victoria College. Since then, the different Lodges that now make up Victoria-Peninsula Masonic Lodge have dispersed an estimated $200,000 in scholarships.
