2012 Education Grants
Freemasons of WA Grants
Since 1955, the Freemasons of Western Australia have assisted students with education costs.
More than 50 years later, the Grand Lodge Education Grants Committee are proud to continue this tradition, by offering financial assistance to students who are undertaking post-secondary and post-graduate studies.
The grants are made possible through kind and generous donations and bequests from Freemasons and their families.
Who May Apply?
Grants are awarded to students who require financial assistance to complete their studies. Post-secondary students (eg undergraduates, TAFE, college) must be undertaking full-time study. However, post-graduate students may be studying full or part-time.
Important Dates
Completed applications must reach the Grand Lodge office by 4:30 pm on Friday, 24 February 2012.
2012 Eligibility
Eligibility
The grants are awarded annually and are intended to assist students with books, equipment, and other education related costs. Fees covered by the Government HECS or HELP loan scheme are outside the scope of the grants, and will not be taken into consideration.
Eligibility for a grant is determined by considering factors such as proven scholastic ability and whether the student is in genuine need of financial assistance.
All applicants must be:
- of good character;
- an Australian citizen or permanent resident, studying at a university or other Western Australian institution;
- residents of Western Australia; and
- sponsored by a current WA Freemason
A student may apply for a grant each year. The application will be assessed independently of any previous submission. Eligibility for an award is directed towards the financial and economic needs of the family or individual, but does take into account the applicant's proven scholastic ability.
The education grants may be supplemented, with approval, by other similar awards, and limited part-time/casual employment is permitted.
