Chico Freemasons have offered scholarships for several decades. While financial need is the most important criterion for selection of scholarship recipients, applicants are also evaluated on academic performance, hardship and extracurricular activities.

Each scholar will receive $300 upon proof of full-time enrollment in the first semester of college or $200 for the first trimester or quarter. Recipients need to maintain a 2.5 GPA or better and submit proof of completion each semester, trimester or quarter for subsequent payments of up to $600 each academic year.
