Masonic Lodge Scholarship 

This flagship scholarship program provides financial support to Texas high school seniors who plan to attend an accredited college, university, or trade school. 


Deadline:  April 30, 2025

This scholarship was established in memory of Robert Macario Ybarra. Robert was a 2020 graduate of Hawley High School. He was full of passion and a fire that made it amazing to watch, especially in baseball. He was offered a spot on the Wayland Baptist University baseball team. He chose not to attend for financial reasons. The family's hope is that another student doesn’t have to make that choice due to finances. 
Deadline:  April 30, 2025
Eligibility
Students from a 19-county area – Brown, Callahan, Coleman, Comanche, Eastland, Fisher, Haskell, Jones, Kent, Knox, Mitchell, Nolan, Runnels and Scurry 
Participated in Varsity Sports junior and senior year

The Dedman Distinguished Scholars Program at The University of Texas at Austin is offering five scholarships to high school sophomores and juniors in the amount of $1,500, $1,000, $500, and two $250 awards. The scholarship has no prerequisites regarding ethnicity, economic background, or extracurricular activities and there is no fee to participate.

The contest requires applicants to submit a 750-800 word essay at our website dedmanessay.com on the following prompt:

Conviction is often hailed as the courage to stand by one’s beliefs in the face of opposition. But when does conviction become obstinance? Is there a point at which standing firm in one’s principles ceases to be a virtue and instead becomes resistance to growth? History, philosophy, and your own personal experience may show that the distinction between these two qualities is not always clear. In a well-argued and compelling essay, explore the fine line between conviction and obstinance.

Additionally, this year they will host two writing workshops to help students write and revise their essays before submission. These workshops will be held over Zoom. More information about the workshops, including dates and times, will be posted on the website.

The competition has opened, and the deadline for submission is April 30 at 11:59 PM. 

If you have any additional questions, please contact dedmanessay@gmail.com or visit our website at dedmanessay.com.
