2015 Elks MVS Scholarship

Maybe the email only going to finalists?

National finalist from NJ :smiley:

It sucks to advance past two of the judging levels and just when you’re a step away from the scholarship - NOPE

When did you get email @futuresurgeon97?

@Mom2Genius Yeah, I submitted the max number of exhibits (10, I think?)

@georgiamama No but I’m from PA, and there was a finalist from here notified about an hour ago.

Ugh this wait is killing me… :frowning:

A friend from another state (CA) also received his email at 5:13 (2:13 there). Looks like it was a blast email to all the finalists.

Maybe they notify non winners later?

Not sure, I know a bunch of scholarships just don’t tell nonwinners.

@Mom2Genius‌, my lodge representative told me that the points for the exhibits were little but that if they helped explain/showcase an award they were worthwhile. I am very involved in essay and oratorical competitions and the exhibits further clarified the work and level of competition in the contests. And there were some nice pictures of me at my competitions looking professional so I figured it didn’t hurt :slight_smile:

Did all the finalists receive the email at 5:13 pm?

Anybody gotten an email saying that you didn’t make it?

No email here

Anybody from the Southeast gotten any type of email?

I’m from Florida, not yet

Dont you think that’s all the emails for today? Already 5:30 CT…I am thinking it is bad news at this point. :frowning:

@Georgiamama‌ agreed. It’s 6:30 over here. I hate to be a pessimist, but I think we’re awaiting rejections at this point.

It’s weird cause the national office sent emails telling applicants they hadn’t made it to the next round every other time…

When I called today they said they would send email either way…Maybe they are still working on the emails…Just getting late.
