Overview

Daisy H. Mason Scholarship

Status: Active

Geographic Scope: Mattoon High School, Illinois

Focus Areas: All fields of study

Overview: The Daisy H. Mason Scholarship is made possible by the generous gift of farm ground from John and Daisy Mason of Mattoon, Illinois. It supports current seniors and graduates of Mattoon High School.

Eligibility:

  • Current seniors and graduates of Mattoon High School
  • Background: Originally managed by First-Mid Bank & Trust. In 2020, due to distribution requirements for charitable trusts and recent increases in farmland values, the Mason charitable trust was dissolved and its assets were transferred to Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation. As a publicly supported charity, the Community Foundation ensures a perpetual source of scholarships for Mattoon High School graduates.
