2026 NYAOH Scholarship Competition

Scholarship APplication

Dear Applicant, 

Applications and study materials can be found on our website for the 2026 scholarship that will be awarded by the NYS AOH Board. The top award is $3000. All high school seniors who are members, and children or grandchildren of a member belonging to a NYS AOH division are eligible to apply. Applicants should include any AOH family participation (please leave names out) and any other information that they feel makes them deserve this scholarship. The applicant or his or her sponsoring family member need not have obtained their Major Degree but it is strongly suggested and is factored into the score. All applications will be judged by our scholarship committee, so applicants are urged to complete every section. Applicants must use a 12-point font when completing the application. No handwritten applications will be accepted.

Go to our webpage at  https://www.nyaoh.com/aoh-scholarship-contest and download the application. This is a fillable PDF, please save it as such. Do not screenshot it or save it any other way. CLICK TO VIEW DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPENING AND SAVING YOUR APPLICATION.   Email the saved file to dermotomoore@gmail.com by Friday, February 27th, 2026. You will receive a confirmation email within 48 hours. If you do not, please reach out to me at my cell # below. If you don’t hear from me, I didn’t get it. No late applications will be considered.

The second part of the scholarship process will involve the completion of a multiple-choice exam. The committee will reach out to the applicants in late March/early April to set up dates and times to administer the exams.

All of the questions on this multiple-choice test will be taken from materials that the Board has supplied on the webpage. Just click on Download Study Materials.

The winner is encouraged to attend the New York State Board Spring Meeting on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 with at least one family member to accept the award.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS, PLEASE CONTACT ME.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU GIVE ME A GOOD CONTACT # FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR PARENT/GRANDPARENT.

Good luck and best regards,
