Many of our members leave bequests, small and large, to the Foundation.   Many more request donations be made to the Foundation in lieu of flowers or other memorials.  All of our members subscribe to the  "Learning is a lifetime experience" philosophy and feel the Foundation provides a very real and important service. They contribute their time, knowledge and resources to help further its work. The Scottish Rite Scholarship Foundation of Washington is pleased to recognize the following individuals by awarding scholarships and fellowships in their name.
