Legacy Awards are $4,000 scholarships available to children and grandchildren of Elks members. Any child or grandchild (or step-child, step-grandchild, or legal ward) of a living Elk or a charter member of a Lodge is eligible to apply. Great-grandchildren are not eligible. The applicant must be a high school senior and must apply online only. The Legacy Awards application deadline is February 6th. 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 wins more than one, we will award the scholarship with the greater value. Students can accept local and state scholarships, which are separate from the awards at the national level. 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.) If you are selected as a Legacy Awards recipient, you will be required to perform three instances of service with an Elks Lodge during the four years you are receiving the scholarship.
