Scholarships Elks Scholarship 2026

The Elks Scholarship contest comes from the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. It is a kind of financial aid that you don't repay. And, offsets the costs of any undergraduate studies. A fraternal order, the Elks organization has hundreds of thousands of members in the United States. They've been around for 150 years and award millions in scholarships. Each program comes with a set of criteria to meet. For this one, any high school senior who is a citizen of the United States may apply. These four year scholarships renew each year if the selectee keeps up good standing.
