The Maine DeMolay and Pine Tree Youth Foundation supports the youth of Maine. It annually makes available several scholarships to young men and women graduating from high school in Maine and continuing their formal education. The number and amount of our scholarships are determined on a year- to-year basis. While some of the scholarships given are limited to graduates of a particular school or are in some other way restricted by the initial donor, most are awarded based on open competition. All scholarships are awarded without regard to race, religion, age, gender, national origin, or “Masonic Family” relationships.
The Order of DeMolay is a worldwide fraternal organization for young men ages 12-21. Since 1919, it has provided an opportunity for growth and development. Senior DeMolays have included men such as President Gerald Ford, actor John Wayne, and cartoonist Walt Disney. DeMolay teaches the virtues of friendship and family. It is not a religion or a religious organization and does not teach a particular faith. DeMolay is not a junior Masonic organization although its ties to (and the support it receives from) Freemasonry is strong. DeMolay is an organization that any young man who seeks to join with others of high moral principles should seriously consider. DeMolay is ‘Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Today’!
