Always
aware of the need for personal scholarship and the support of scholarship
study, the NYSOSIA Grand Lodge has maintained a consistent financial
support system for many decades. In any given year, the NYSOSIA,
through the New York Grand Lodge Foundation, Inc. and the local
lodges, expends some $250,000 in such support. While many local
lodges sponsor their own programs, the New York Grand Lodge Foundation,
Inc. has an overall state competitive scholarship process in place
since 1982. The funds for the Foundation scholarship endowment,
which now hovers near $1 million, has grown substantially due to
the generosity of individual lodges, members of OSIA, as well as
benefactors and friends. Promoting, encouraging and supporting scholarship
and grant assistance has been the core piece of OSIA’s efforts
to honor young collegians in their academic pursuits.
