The Masons of Lower Yellowstone Lodge #90 in Sidney have provided applications to all Richland County high schools to apply for the Ben York Masonic Scholarship.
Graduating seniors who are planning to pursue a course of study in the construction/building trades such as plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, etc. are eligible for this scholarship.
The scholarship was created by the local Masonic lodge to honor the memory of Ben York. Ben was a long time Sidney plumber and electrician as well as a devoted member of the Masonic Lodge, Shrine Club, Eastern Star and was a supporter of Demolay and Rainbow. Ben served as Worship Master of Lower Yellowstone Lodge #90 and as Most Worshipful Master of Masons of Montana.
Ben gave the same devotion to his work as a plumber and electrician as he did to his service of the Masons. Ben passed away in 2007.
Scholarship applications can be obtained from the Guidance Counselor at each high school.
