Applications for the Elks National Foundation's 2008 Most Valuable Student scholarship contest will be available beginning September 2007. The Foundation will award 500 four-year scholarships to the highest-rated boys and girls in the competition.
Applicants will be judged on financial need, leadership and scholarship. Any high school senior who is a citizen of the United States is eligible to apply. Applicants need not be related to a member of the Elks.
Any prospective student, resident within the jurisdiction of the California-Hawaii Elks Association (CHEA), who plans to pursue an eligible vocational/technical course, above and supplemental to high school or preparatory school level, may file an application. All applicants must be citizens of the United States of America on the date the application is filed.
This grant may be used for tuition and fees, room and board (only if living on campus) and books and supplies. It may be used only for usual and required costs of applicant's planned course of study.
Since 1981 the Elks have provided financial assistance to students with disabilities wishing to further their education. Utilized by dozens of qualified candidates, this program serves a dual purpose: 1) the students are aided in pursuing their goals in higher education; and 2) the students are aided in becoming part of the mainstream working community.
This scholarship program is a financial needs based and academic use scholarship. It is intended for undergraduate work at an accredited community college, four year college, university, or licensed vocational school. The funds cover academic expenses only, which includes tuition, books, lab fees and on-campus room and board.
