2008 Connecticut State Elks Association Scholarship Recipients

For the best source of information regarding the Grand Lodge sponsored scholarships, please refer to our National Website.  Below are excerpts from that site with links leading to such.  These Grand Lodge scholarships derive funds from the Elks National Foundation.  The Elks National Foundation provides more than $3.3 million in college scholarships each year to graduating high school seniors. The "Most Valuable Student," Eagle Scout, and Girl Scout Gold Award scholarships are open to any graduating high school senior. Legacy Awards and Emergency Educational Fund Grants are available only to children of Elks. The application process and deadlines vary for each of the programs. All applications, except for the scouting scholarships, must go through a local Elks Lodge before reaching the Elks National Foundation office. Contact your high school counselor for more information or your local Elks Lodge. To find the Elks Lodge nearest you, click here.
