KANSAS MASONIC FOUNDATION STUDENT LOAN/SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Low interest loans are available each year from the Kansas
Masonic foundation to Kansas residents attending a Kansas
institution of higher learning as a full-time student. These
multi-year loans are designed to assist a student throughout a 1,
2, 3, or 4-year educational process. Repayment starts one year
after completion of school and is accomplished over a 4-year
period. These are exceptional loams and in some cases can be
repayed by the Masonic Foundation.
