Scholarships
- SPJST Scholarships and
Grants
-
- One of the benefits that
the SPJST makes available to its members is a competitive scholarship
program. The Scholarship/Grant Program is meant to encourage
and assist younger members to further their education and to
help them achieve career goals.
- SPJST General Scholarships
were established in 1982 for all SPJST members. General Scholarships
are funded by the Supreme Lodge and voluntary contributions by
SPJST members. Accordingly, the more funds available, the more
scholarships awarded. Leadership
Grants were established in 1996 for active youth club members
and are funded solely through allocations by the Supreme Lodge.

-
- Applicants must have an active
SPJST insurance certificate in force for one year and hold an
