Kaitlin M. Arford, daughter of Mike and Jan Arford, Leesburg, and Cody R. Cline, son of Robert and Sally Cline, Milford, each received a $1,300 Masonic Scholarship from the Scholarship Board of the Grand Lodge of Indiana, Free and Accepted Masons.
The Grand Lodge of Indiana Scholarship Board distributes earnings from an endowment, making it one of the largest fraternal scholarship funds in the country. In the years of its operation, more than $6 million in scholarships have helped more than 6,000 Hoosier students realize their educational goals. Children and stepchildren of Master Masons who demonstrate academic merit, financial need and community participation may apply for scholarships if they are attending an Indiana college or university.
Arford and Cline are two out of 293 selected from almost 400 participants. The local recipients’ names were sponsored by Mike Arford and Robert Cline, fathers of the two students, on their own merits as Master Masons. Both fathers are members of Kosciusko Lodge 418, Milford.
Kaitlin Arford, a second-year student at Ball State University, plans to apply her Masonic Scholarship toward her major in journalism. Cody Cline, a fourth-year student, will apply his Masonic Scholarship toward his two majors, which are international business and intercultural studies.[[In-content Ad]]
