Preferred Fields of Study

Fields of Study We're Especially Interested In

Minnesota Masonic Charities is deeply committed to supporting students whose education and future careers strengthen communities, protect public well-being, and serve others.

While students in all fields of study are encouraged to apply, we are particularly interested in learning about applicants pursuing education and careers in:

Public safety and first responder fields
Education and teaching
Agriculture and food systems
Healthcare and health sciences

Applicants planning to serve in these areas are encouraged to share how their academic path reflects a commitment to service, leadership, and community impact.

All scholarship awards are competitive and reviewed holistically. No field of study guarantees selection.
