Scottish Rite Schizophrenia Fellowships
Since 1934, Scottish Rite in the Northern Jurisdiction has been in the forefront of the fight against mental illness and schizophrenia, the most prevalent and serious type of mental affliction. Our efforts to conquer this dreaded affliction grants for both psychological and biological research. Since that time, several hundred projects have received Scottish Rite grants which have totaled over $21 million. Progress has been slow due to the complexity of understanding the functions of the human brain. The use of antipsychotic drugs has helped reduce some of the problems associated with the affliction.
Today our emphasis is placed on fellowships for graduate students in behavioral science at colleges and universities located within the 15 states of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction.
All contributions are tax-deductible in accordance with the Federal Internal Revenue Code. For information on how to contribute to this effort or details on the fellowship program, contact the Supreme Council at 33 Marrett Road, Lexington, MA 02173.
