Supporting the Future
Today’s young people are our future leaders. Hermann Sons Life helps support our young members in their pursuit of higher education through two scholarship programs. Each year more than $10,000 is awarded to graduating high school seniors. In addition to these two scholarships, many of our lodges award scholarships annually to their junior members.

Camp-Shannon Leigh Gaffney
Three $1,000 Hermann Sons Youth Camp-Shannon Leigh Gaffney Scholarships are awarded to past campers for their fall semesters immediately following high school graduation.
The scholarship fund was created in memory of Shannon Leigh Gaffney, a former camper and counselor who passed away in 1998 at the age of 21 after losing her battle with leukemia. Shannon exemplified the spirit of Camp and that spirit lives on in the many campers whose lives she influenced.
Scholarships are made possible by donations and fund-raising. This fund is designated as a 501(c)3 and donations are tax deductible.
Retirement Home
Four $1,500 scholarships are awarded to one student from each of four regions and are awarded to first-year college students for use at any four-year university, two-year community college or trade school.
Applicants must be members for a minimum of five years and have certificate and lodge dues in good standing on the date of application. High school grades have no bearing on selection of recipients, only the students’ desire to better themselves.
Scholarships are made possible by fund-raising efforts and donations.
Local Lodge Scholarships
Numerous local lodges offer scholarships to members of their lodges. Check with your lodge president to find out if your lodge offers scholarships.
