Scholarships Available to Rainbow Girls
California Rainbow has several scholarships available to its members.
California Rainbow Scholarships, as an educational endeavor, began as the Grand Worthy Advisor's project in 1959.
There are also many scholarships available from the organizations of Family of Freemasonry.
The Regular Rainbow Scholarship
Provides financial aid to those girls planning to enter undergraduate studies as a freshman. The $500 scholarship is paid to the recipient in two installments. The first installment will be paid approximately the middle of August but only after proof of enrollment has been received by Mr. Dennis Conwell, Chairman, Scholarship Committee. The second installment will be paid at the end of the first semester and after a transcript of grades and proof of continuing enrollment has been received by Mr. Conwell.
The Continuing Student Scholarship
Provides financial aid in the amount of a $500 scholarship to girls continuing studies beyond their freshmen year if there are funds remaining after the Regular Rainbow Scholarships have been awarded. Girls applying for a continuing student scholarship should indicate this when requesting application forms and when submitting their completed scholarship packet.
