The Museum of Our National Heritage and Library
- The Museum of Our National Heritage and Library provides Masons all over
the jurisdiction with information on the history of our country as well as the
history of Masonic and other fraternal organizations. The museum consists of
the Stanley F. Maxwell Auditorium used for educational and community events,
the James Francis Farr Conference Center and the Van Gorden historic library.
Traveling exhibits help expand the museum's scope and benefit the brethren who
do not live close at hand. To view the museum's own Web site, click here.

Leon M. Abbott Scholarships
- Leon M. Abbott Scholarships provide financial support for the continuing
education of young men and women from Scottish Rite families and
Masonic-related youth groups. Since 1951, more than $3 million has been
awarded to students from each state of the Northern Jurisdiction. Freedom,
understanding, and brotherhood are dependent upon our ability to reason
effectively. That is why the Masonic fraternity, and Scottish Rite in
particular, have long been committed to fostering the value of education. The
Abbott Scholarships began with a portion of the legacy of the late Leon M.
Abbott, 33°,Sovereign Grand Commander from 1921-1932. Each year nearly 400
scholarships are awarded to eligible and deserving students attending
accredited colleges, universities, and specialty schools.

Schizophrenia Fellowships
- Schizophrenia Fellowships have been supporting schizophrenia research at
designated colleges and universities since 1935 by providing fellowships for
graduate students interested in the mental health research field. Scottish
Rite donates more than $150,000 toward research fellowships each year.
Scottish Rite in the Northern Jurisdiction has been in the forefront of the
fight against mental illness and schizophrenia, the most prevalent and serious
type of mental affliction. Several hundred projects have received Scottish
Rite grants totaling more than $21 million. The emphasis is placed on
fellowships for graduate students in behavioral science at colleges and
universities located within the 15 states of the Northern Masonic
Jurisdiction.
