An all-points bulletin about scholarships from Lodge 7
Unit 125 Field Technology Officer Dr. Carolynn Crump, DBA, of- fers some vital information for scholarships available to members and their families:
“Throughout my educational career, I’ve applied for and have been granted scholarships,” she explains. “There is no such thing as, ‘I do not qualify for a scholarship for myself or my children be- cause of ABC, XYZ.’ All you have to do is sit down for a few hours in front of the computer, research and apply.
Here are some websites that may provide you and your family with information about financial grants or scholarship assistance: All Clear Foundation Organization allclearfoundation.org/resources/resourcetypes/grant/
