Avon-Miami Lodge No. 542 Higher Education Scholarship
Offered by Avon-Miami Lodge No. 542 and Avon Miami Charities
About this scholarship
The Avon-Miami Lodge No. 542 Higher Education Scholarship provides a one-time $1,000 tuition payment for an eligible Hamilton County, Ohio resident pursuing a university degree or certification program. The award is administered with Avon Miami Charities and is sent directly to the selected recipient’s school or training program rather than paid as unrestricted cash. Applicants must be at least 17 years old, live in Hamilton County, and complete the sponsor’s active Google application by December 31, 2026. The form confirms that applicants must be U.S. citizens and Ohio residents. It also asks about any Masonic affiliation, but neither the official description nor the form states that affiliation is required. Selection emphasizes evidence of constructive activity: applicants describe clubs or organizations, employment during the past year, and volunteer involvement. The complete submission includes three referral letters, a written essay, and a 30- to 60-second introduction video, along with personal, residence, citizenship, education, and activity information in the online form. The sponsor expects to make its decision by the end of March and present the award by the end of June. The awardee is invited to accept the scholarship at the Avon-Miami Lodge No. 542 awards event. The Apply button opens the live official form rather than a general lodge homepage.
