We’re thankful for the hard work, courage and helping spirit of the class of 2022 and we wish these students bright days ahead!
Make An Impact® Scholarships help young members pay for college and pursue their dreams. And with an emphasis on volunteer experience, we’re rewarding those who are making an impact in their local communities.
You give back to your community. We give back to you. Together we make an impact.
High school seniors can apply for the annually awarded scholarships. Two types of scholarships allow members to find the path that’s right for them.
Scholarship track 1: Volunteer experience + academic achievement
Winners are chosen based on volunteer experience and academic achievement. Structured as a competition, Modern Woodmen awards 12 $10,000 scholarships, 12 $7,500 scholarships, 12 $5,000 scholarships and 12 $2,500 scholarships each school year.
Scholarship track 2: Volunteer experience
Winners are chosen based on volunteer experience. Each year, 150 member students are awarded with a $1,000 scholarship.
Modern Woodmen divides the country into six regions. Although the regions are not equal in geographic size, they have been carefully established so that the number of eligible students in each region is approximately equal.
Visit the member website for complete details and eligibility requirements. Program is subject to change at any time.
