The Elks National Foundation provides more than $3.64 million in college scholarships each year through its three scholarship programs.
- Any child or grandchild (or step-child, step-grandchild, or legal ward) of a living Elk who joined the order on or before April 1, 2009, or a charter member of a Lodge that was instituted on or after April 1, 2009, is eligible to apply. The Elk must also be a paid-up member. Great-grandchildren are not eligible.
- The applicant must be a high school senior.
- The applicant must apply online only.
- If the applicant’s parent and grandparent are both Elk members, the applicant must apply through the parent’s Elks Lodge
- Students may apply for more than one ENF scholarship; however, they may win only one. In cases where the student qualifies for more than one, we will award the scholarship with the greater value.
- Legacy Awards may only be applied to accredited US American schools, colleges or universities. (Note: Applicants from Guam, Panama, Puerto Rico and the Philippines may apply Legacy Awards toward schools, colleges or universities in their respective homes.)
Note: The application process and deadlines vary for each program.
All applications must go through a local Elks Lodge before reaching the Elks National Foundation office. Additional information about each scholorship program can be found on the Elks National Foundation’s website at http://www.elks.org/enf/scholars/
