Scholarship Program
Yearly we offer up to six $500 scholarships to students in the Durant and Silo schools who wish to continue their search for education by attending Southeastern Oklahoma State University, located here in Durant Oklahoma. Applications may be obtained through the school guidance counselors, or from lodge members. Our intent is to return funds raised in our area back into the community through students of good character and scholastic ability.
