H.S Ostlin Memorial Scholarship for Iowa State University $1,000 due 2/1 Selection is based on academic excellence, and preference is given to students intending to pursue a career in engineering. The amount of the award is $1,000 and is renewable for three additional years provided the student fulfills the scholarship requirements.
The scholarships are designed to assist graduating seniors in pursuing a post-secondary education in any state at an accredited institution that provides a two- or four-year college program. The scholarships may be used for any bona fide school-related expenses such as tuition, fees, and books.
Applicants need not have a Masonic connection, nor do race, creed, religion, color, sex, or national origin have any bearing in the selection process. Recipients are selected after completing a comprehensive written application and an in-depth personal interview.
A broad-based criterion is used in the selection process. The principal criterion is service to school and community with special emphasis upon leadership roles in these areas. The Grand Lodge of Iowa is looking for those students who exhibit the greatest potential to be not only of service to their communities in the future but also leaders in these communities. An applicant’s academic record, communication skills, and need for financial assistance are also carefully considered as is an evaluation of the applicant by a school official. The organization, appearance, and completeness of the application are also factors considered by the selection committee.
From all the applications received, the Scholarship Selection Committee will select a number of finalists who will be asked to appear before the committee for a personal interview. These interviews will be either conducted in person at a number of locations across the state, or via Zoom Video Conferencing. Upon completion of the interviews, the committee will then select those who will receive scholarships.
