Scholarships

The Ionic Lodge Charitable Foundation proudly sponsors the Malcolm E. Carrick Memorial Scholarship. Every year, ILCF selects two graduating seniors from Franklin H.S. to be that year's Malcolm E. Carrick Scholarship recipients. ILCF remains in contact with these scholarship recipients (our Malcolm E. Carrick Scholars) through their academic career. These Malcolm E. Carrick Scholars are eligible to apply for additional scholarship assistance from ILCF for up to eight semesters.


Who was Malcolm E. Carrick?

Malcolm E. Carrick (1929 - 2020) was a proud veteran and served in the Marine Corps from 1946-1949. He was a Shriner, a member of the Ionic Masonic Lodge in Reisterstown for 70 years, a member of the Maryland Grand Lodge, and a member of the Scottish Rite. Malcolm was a volunteer for the Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company for 75 years. He was an active member of the Alumni Association of Franklin High School and was a lifelong member of All Saints Episcopal Church of Reisterstown.


Backpacks for Kids

The ILCF "Backpacks for Kids" program works with administrators and counselors at local elementary schools to provide backpacks, water bottles, and other school supplies to children in financial need. ILCF contacts administrators and counselors at local elementary schools to determine how many students are in need and then purchases the backpacks and supplies, collates the supplies into the backpacks, and allocates the full backpacks proportionally to the schools, providing as many as the current budget allows.
