PMYF 2025 Scholarship Opportunities

The Pennsylvania Masonic Youth Foundation (PMYF) needs your help! We’re in the midst of our 2025 Scholarship Application season, which runs until March 15, 2025, and we want your help in growing participation in this exciting opportunity for undergraduate students. Last year, 135 applications were received from students representing 47 counties, and our goal is to grow the number of applications submitted, as well as the counties that are touched by our program. Please see the map below for the 2024 distribution of applications and the amounts awarded to students who reside in those counties. Last year, the PMYF awarded more than $150,000 in scholarships.

Basic eligibility for a PMYF scholarship requires that an applicant be a member in good standing of a Pennsylvania Masonic Lodge, his child, step-child, grandchild, great-grandchild, sibling or dependent (as defined by the IRS); or a present or former member of one of the Masonic-related youth groups; or a resident or graduate of the Masonic Children’s Home. The applicant must be a high school graduate or a high school senior who is pursuing higher education. Applicants must have a 3.0 GPA, and the grants are only applicable to undergraduate tuition and fees. Applications must be postmarked by March 15, 2025.

The application for the PMYF Scholarship and a Scholarship Resource Guide are available at www.pmyf.org by clicking the “Scholarships” button. The Resource Guide lists over 50 different scholarships that are available this year. If you would prefer a copy of the guide or application be mailed directly to you or your student, please contact Brother Dave Berry, Executive Director of the PMYF, via email at dwberry@pmyf.org or phone 717-367-1536, ext. 4.
