2016 Elks MVS Scholarship

I emailed the Charlotte elks lodge and she says we will know on or before January 15th.

@moonwalk83 Im waiting on the greensboro lodge

Anxiously awaiting also. Would be nice to know if I advanced. But definitely would be grateful with money at the local level as well:)

Anyone heard back yet??

not yet :confused:

The email I received from the head of the scholarship said we will receive an email the week of the 11th. So I’m assuming that meant we wouldn’t hear until at least tomorrow.

annnnnnd the nerves creep in since it’s this week!! super nervous because I kind of rushed the app…I found out about it on december 2. turns out a friend turned it in late and still qualified, so kind of bummed that I didn’t ask for an extension like they did.

@fishgill that stinks! I found out about it early (I actually think I found out about it from College Confidential itself!) and I put a loooot of time into it so it’ll be a heartbreaker if I don’t get anything out of it. I spent probably 8 hours on it at least! I wanted it to be perfect.

Ack. Anxious to hear back this week.

I emailed my lodge (Littleton) to see whether i moved on the district and I did! Maybe email your lodge?

@Coloradogymnast4422 I tried sending an email to the lodge I applied through, but their email is over quota. I guess all I can do now is wait, or try to send an email again later.

@awakeningvenus i guess it’s good to know that you’ll know by Friday. But it is nerve wracking, I feel the same way

anyone from Miami on here?

My local lodge’s scholarship head sent me an email with a local schcolarship offer so I just emailed her.

@fishgill Haha, true. I think I’m overly impatient about college and scholarship notifications. I need to chill.

Yeah I have emailed my lodge twice. They are slow to respond. The first email it took them over a week to respond just to let me know they did receive it. And I recently emailed to find out when we would be notified with still no answer.
Slackers :-w

Those ā€œslackersā€ are offering a scholarship.

I’d be a little more grateful that they run the program at all, if I were you.

Just received an email from the Elks National Foundation (not my local lodge) that my application ā€œhas now been forwarded to the next level of judgingā€!

I advanced!!! It was also an email from the national foundation, not my local lodge. That’s normal, right?

Same! Does anyone know how many people are now in the running for the national scholarship?
