The Beachem Ellison Scholarship fund (BESF) named after two of our most outstanding leaders, Past Grand Master, Brother Willie Beachem and Past Grand Matron, Sister Elsie Ellison who has flawlessly exhibited Masonic character, principles and virtues while serving as mentors and role models to Masons and Eastern Stars throughout their masonic journey.

For more than a decade the BESF has been awarding scholarships to worthy students seeking to broaden their horizons through higher education. We are very proud of these young men and women who have attended various prestigious higher learning institutions ranging from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) to top liberal arts, engineering and medical institutions.
