Grand Assembly of Massachusetts INTERNATIONAL ORDER OF THE RAINBOW FOR GIRLS

2017 “revised” SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

Grand Assembly Scholarships are granted on the basis of financial need, academic rigor and Rainbow merit to girls who are entering as freshmen, full time, at a two or more year accredited college. Therefore, a recipient of a Grand Assembly Scholarship who receives a full scholarship from another source is ineligible to accept the Grand Assembly Scholarship. If for any reason there is a change in college after a scholarship has been awarded, the awarding of that scholarship may be reconsidered. Recipients must be present at Grand Assembly to receive their award or the scholarship will be forfeited.
