Eastern Star Training Awards for Religious Leadership

Q. What is ESTARL?
A. ESTARL is an acronym for Eastern Star Training Awards for Religious
Leadership.  In short, it is a program providing financial grants to 
students preparing for full-time Christian service.

Q. Why does the program exist?
A. The International Order of Eastern Star established ESTARL in 1952 in 
response to a concern for the decreasing number of persons preparing for 
the full time Christian service and the increasing cost of tuition.  The 
Grand Chapter of North Dakota grants ESTARL awards each year.

Q. How does the Grand Chapter fund ESTARL?
A. The Grand Chapter has a Permanent ESTARL Fund, managed by the N. D. O.E.S.
Foundation. The interest from the Permanent Fund as well as Memorial gifts,
 Chapter gifts and Special Projects of Worthy Grand Matrons and Worthy Grand
 Patrons are all part of an ESTARL working fund which must be exhausted as much
 as possible each year through grants.

Q. How much does each student receive?
A. The amount of the grants vary from year to year, based on the amount of
 money in the working fund and the number of students chosen to receive awards.

Q. Can students receive grants for more than one year?
A. Yes, students MUST apply each year they are enrolled in an accredited 
program preparing for religious service.  Students in Intern positions are not
 eligible for an award during the year of internship.
 
Q. How are grants awarded?
A. The ESTARL Committee meets to determine eligibility of applicants on the
basis of need, character, scholarship and citizenship.  Dedication as well as
need, will play an important part in the selection of the recipients.

Q. How can I help?
A. You can help by encouraging qualifying students to apply and praying for 
ESTARL recipients.

A.
* Students preparing for leadership in various fields of Christian service
 may apply for a grant.The Order of the Eastern Star does not discriminate 
on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, gender or religious 
belief in the administration of the scholarship program.

A Little about Rob Morris

After he became a Mason on March 5, 1846, he became convinced that there 
needed to be a way for female relatives of Masons to share in some measure 
in the benefits of Freemasonry. While teaching at the Eureka Masonic College 
("The Little Red Brick School Building") in Richland, Mississippi in 1849-1850,
 he wrote Eastern Star's first ritual, titled The Rosary of the Eastern Star.
 He organized a "Supreme Constellation" in 1845 to charter Star chapters. In 
1866, because of his planned travel abroad, he handed over the organizational
authority of Eastern Star to Robert Macoy.
He later served as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky in 1848-9.
Upon being given a job as professor of the Masonic University, he moved to
La Grange, Kentucky in 1860.

Poetry

Over the years, he wrote over 400 poems, many of which were devoted to 
Eastern Star and Masonry. While traveling in the Holy Land, he wrote the 
words to the hymn "O Galilee". In 1854, he wrote "The Level and the Square",
which may be his best-known poem. 

Poet Laureate

Because of his many works on Masonic subjects, on December 17, 1884, he was
crowned the "Poet Laureate of Freemasonry", an honor which had not been
granted since the death of Robert Burns in 1796.

Death

His health began to fail in 1887, and in June 1888, he became paralyzed.
He died on July 31, 1888, and is buried at La Grange, Kentucky. The Rob Morris
Home is kept as a shrine to Rob Morris by the Kentucky Grand Chapter of the
Order of the Eastern Star.
