<p>Nervousohio, yeah you’re right. Only the school’s grants will decrease if your scholarships excees your contribution, self-help, and need.</p>
<p>I’m finished with the secondary! Wary about submitting it, though. Does anyone know how to change the way the essay is formatted on the “review app” page? No matter how I format it, my essay just shows up as one big paragraph…</p>
<p>i am from ohio… we have only heard we have advanced locally and disctricts, anyone else from ohio heard more if they were declined or advanced?</p>
<p>msbehringer,</p>
<p>I’m from Ohio and recieved notification on Monday that I am a national finalist. I have friends who also applied who have not heard anything yet though.</p>
<p>And for anyone who’s done the secondary, is it long? What all is a part of it?</p>
<p>I’m the national finalist, but I have not gotten any notification from district. I know that sometimes, they give you scholarships before forwarding the application to next level. Do you guys think I should contact my district Elks foundation?</p>
<p>The secondary just asks you which college you plan to go to, have you been accepted, grants/scholarships received with amounts and how many years, and 1 500-word essay on basically why they should give you a scholarship and not one of the other 499 outstanding national finalists. They also ask you to mail in your SAR and a teacher recommendation form .</p>
<p>I have not been notified of rejection or a prize yet. I received two letters saying I had moved on the to next level of judging. On the first letter, they gave me a one time $500 scholarship. Do you know when they will notify me? How stretched out is the notification process?</p>
<p>4903abcd, I think you should contact your local Elks lodge at this point? Just say a friend of yours heard and you’re curious.</p>
<p>Danhvu, I don’t know how stretched out it is, but I have numerous friends who haven’t heard either way yet. Congrats on moving on and receiving the $500 though!</p>
<p>Just out of curiousity, have any guys heard back? I’m a girl and none of my male friends have heard anything back so I’m wondering if they sent the results for the girls out but not the guys? Maybe?</p>

<p>That’s awesome! I’m a national finalist too, but I haven’t gotten anything from the district. Did you get them through mail?</p>
<p>THANK YOU ELKS FOUNDATION for a tasty dinner and a nice financial gift. :)</p>
<p>@ymlee822 It depends on your district. Not all districts give monetary awards on top of the national finalist award.</p>
<p>@seniorsfo My local Elks’ Lodge is having the dinner in May :)</p>
<p>How do we obtain the SAR from FAFSA?
Do we just print out the SAR that we got after submitting to colleges and mail it with the application??</p>
<p>or do we submit the FAFSA to Elks Foundation?</p>
<p>You mail the SAR to ENF.</p>
<p>Received a call from my district head today. Found out that I made it all the way to state, but didn’t move on from there. I received $1,200 though and was invited to my lodge’s dinner in May!</p>
<p>Hey guys, you check out your posted names on the Elks website by clicking on past scholars and then searching in the year 2012. :)</p>
<p>That’s so cool! I’m honored to have my name listed there!</p>
<p>When do we find out the final results?</p>
<p>I applied back in December and haven’t heard anything yet. No rejection either. Do you think they lost my application?</p>
<p>Wasn’t the deadline for the scholarship at the end of October?</p>
