Website: http://www.elks.org/scholars/scholarships/MVS.cfm
Who's Eligible: High school seniors heading to four-year institutions
Award Amount: Up to $12,500, renewable for four years
Due Date: November 30
Requirements:
You do not have to be a child or grandchild or an Elks member to win an Elks scholarship, but you do have to be academically sharp, have top-notch leadership skills, and carry financial need. Candidates should apply through their local Elks lodge (click here to find yours) and must be attending a four-year institution full time in the upcoming academic year. If you have any connections at the Elks lodge, that is a bonus. Special awards of up to $4,000 ($1,000 each year for four years) are available for children and grandchildren of Elks members.
