A Legacy of Education

The Abbott Scholarship Program provides financial support for the continuing undergraduate and graduate education of Scottish Rite Masons, young men and women from Scottish Rite families, and Masonic-related youth groups.

The Abbott Scholarships began with a portion of the legacy of the late Leon M. Abbott, 33°, who served as Sovereign Grand Commander from 1921-1932. Since 1951, the Leon M. Abbott Scholarship Fund has awarded more than $10 milllion to students looking to further their education.
