Welcome, fellow bibliophiles! You have reached the webpage for Waco Masonic Lodge #92's scholarship application. While I was a Honors College student at Baylor, I was also learning the philosophy upon which freemasonry is built. Often, the ideas we discussed in Great Texts were intimately connected to the ideals around which freemasonry has been established. Through this scholarship opportunity, we hope to help new Honors students also see that connection and learn a little bit about how the sometimes ancient concepts in our books have informed the not quite so ancient social, fraternal, and civic actions of our communities' leaders.
Who Qualifies?
Baylor Freshman Scholarships
Sophomores and Juniors. This scholarship is available to Great Texts majors or Baylor students who have taken or are currently taking a Great Texts course at Baylor AND who still have at least another year of school before graduating.
What do I write about?
It is an essay-based scholarship with a wide variety of potential topics. You can write about a particular person or a person's works. You can write about a general concept or several connected concepts. The list below is meant as a guide and if you wish to write about something or someone not listed, you may do so but it is recommended that you contact me first. Some of the people listed were Baylor leaders; some were early American leaders. Some were prominent elsewhere. All of them were Freemasons. Many or all of the concepts will likely be familiar to you as they tend to come up in Great Texts courses. They are also near and dear to how Freemasons see society and reality at large. Sources for your paper should include at least one text covered in a course at Baylor. If you do not find something below about which you would like to write, contact me at robert_marshall@alumni.baylor.edu and we can discuss ideas for a unique essay choice.
