Spiran Lodge is proud to offer scholarships to member and non-member students each year. The amount of these scholarships vary, but are typically $500 to $1000. From 2016 to 2023, Spiran Lodge has given $23,500 in scholarships to deserving students.
Member Scholarships
Applicants for a Member Scholarship must either be an active Spiran Lodge member or the child or grandchild of an active Spiran Lodge member and not a previous recipient of the scholarship.
Member Scholarship applicants must send a letter indicating the applicant’s name, grade, and school currently or formerly attended and the name of the school the applicant plans to attend, along with the name and relationship of the applicant to a Spiran Lodge member. The applicant should prepare and include an essay on one of the following subjects:
- What My Nordic Heritage Means to Me
- The Influence of the Nordic Cultures on Global Society
Non-Member Scholarships
The application for Non-Member Scholarships is held and managed by the guidance departments at the local high schools. Please reach out to the applicant’s guidance counselor to begin the application process. Guidance counselors will send completed applications to the Spiran Lodge Scholarship Chairperson.
