2015 Elks MVS Scholarship

@123ahs I applied to the local lodge and they told me I moved on to the district level

S was informed last week that he had been forwarded from the local lodge to district level but received an email today that he would not be progressing to the state level. Oh well, first of many scholarship rejections no doubt, but hoping for some wins as well. Like @quijote we are from NY, but not the same district.

Applied in NJ as well and I’m moving on!!! I gave my app to the lodge in cliffside park, nj

Yay I’m moving on! :slight_smile: Submitted my app to lodge in Katy, TX. Now to go finish my Gates essays lol

so if you got an email today does that mean you are moving on to the state level?

@123ahs I’m pretty sure if you got an email today you have moved onto district level. My email stated that my “application has been reviewed by the Lodge judging committee” so I’m assuming that my application has only been considered locally so far.

Got my email from WA today, just says that I’m “forwarded to the next level”. Guess we’ll hear back in early February

DS got an email today indicating he was not moving on to the next round.

Son got an email yesterday indicating he is advancing.

Does anyone know what level we are advancing to? Is it from the lodge level to the district level?

Check spam and other areas of the inbox. I am from Wisconsin and I received an email but it was in my promotions (with all other junk mail). @ccggp101‌ we are moving on to district level.

I got snail mail today, saying that I had passed local judging and would be forwarded to district judging.

Ok so it goes lodge => districts => state => nationals?

I just double checked… @ccggp101‌ that is correct

Does anyone know how many people were able to advance to the next level? I advanced and was just wondering if winning national is more competitive?

@rachaell yes, it will be more competitive. Because now your competing against everyone else that advanced from the lodge level, and at state you competing against everyone else who advanced from the district level, and so forth. But as far as statistics on the number of people that get moved on from each level, I don’t have any.

I didn’t move on to the next level, but I got snail mail today saying that I got $1000 from my lodge!!! So I am super ecstatic about that.

@ccggp101‌ do you know when we get notified about the next round?

@PassionForUMiami‌ I’m sorry to hear that :confused: what lodge did you apply for?

@rachaell‌ No actually I’m really happy that I still got money from my own lodge! But anyway my lodge number was 1830
