Scholarship Opportunities for Masse Moro Campers

Sons of Norway Sponsorships

 

Lodge Sponsorships:

 

Your camper may qualify for support through your local Sons of Norway Lodge, whether you live in District V or in District I.  Please contact your lodge as early as you can to apply for scholarship monies as these funds are often limited.  Typically, a parent or grandparent will need to be a member in order to qualify, however this may vary by lodge. 

 

It is best to contact your local lodge treasurer to discuss the application process.  To find out about lodges in your area, please visit the Sons of Norway lodge directory http://www.sofn.com/lodgeDirectory/

 

 

District One Scholarships:

 

To be eligible for district one support, your camper application must be turned in by February 25th of a given year.  For more information, please contact:
