Scholarship available to Elks member children, grandchildren

Applications for the Elks National Foundation Legacy Award are due Feb. 1, 2013 .

The $4,000 scholarships are available to high school seniors who are children or grandchildren (or step-child, step-grandchild, or legal ward) of a living Elk who joined the order on or before April 1, 2010, or a charter member of a Lodge that was instituted on or after April 1, 2010.

Great-grandchildren are not eligible.

Other requirements include:

• 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.)
• Applicants must take the Scholastic Aptitude Test or the American College Test by December 31, 2012.
