Scholarships are an important part of St. John's Lodge No. 9. Each year the Lodge looks at the area high schools for the best and brightest students to help along the road to higher education. Once these students are identified they, and thier families, are invited to our annual sholarship dinner and presentation.

The 2001-2002 sholarships, as identified by the scholarship committee, were approved by the membership at the July 11 stated communication and the invitations were mailed to the year's winners. On August first the winners and about twenty-five members of their families came to St. John's Lodge No. 9. Dinner was served and the presentation of scholarships was made to:
