Philanthropies

The Old Dominion University Speech and Hearing Clinic provides diagnostic and speech therapy services for adults and children with speech, language, and hearing disorders. This clinic is part of the RiteCare® Scottish Rite Childhood Language Program (SRCLP) sponsored by the Scottish Rite across the United States. We also sponsor a Scottish Rite summer therapy program. Therapy scholarships are available through this generous support. Through the generosity of Scottish Rite, ODU's Speech and Hearing Clinic is able to offer therapy scholarships to children in need of speech and language services.

Approved by the Assistant Secretary of Defense, the Supreme Council, Southern Jurisdiction, the Scottish Rite ROTC/JROTC Awards Program recognizes outstanding college and high school youth enrolled in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) or Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) unit at their school for their scholastic excellence and patriotic Americanism efforts. The award consists of a medal, ribbon and a certificate suitable for framing.

The Supreme Council, 33°, created the Scottish Rite Foundation, Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A., Inc. (Scottish Rite Foundation), to support philanthropic endeavors. Each year, through the Development Office, the Supreme Council seeks donations for the Scottish Rite Foundation’s three major programs: RiteCare Scottish Rite Childhood Language Program (SRCLP), scholarships, and national disaster relief.
