Hey guys! Congrats to all!
I just received the email āWelcome to the Elks Familyā as well. As I look at the application, it asks where Iām going to college, and any financial aid I have received. I have been accepted to a few schools early action and theyāve offered me some financial aid, but I still have a lot of schools to hear from and I have no idea where Iām going yet so the financial aid is still tentative.
The question is: āHave you been awarded other financial aid, grants or scholarships? If yes, please list all financial aid, grants or scholarships received to date.ā Should I put N/A, or should I put the tentative aid from the schools that have accepted me but I still may not attend?
Thanks!
Hi everyone, congratulations to those who advanced to the national level! On the national application, it asks for the ENF ID. Is this the login we were given or something else? If it is something else, how do you find that? Thank you!
Congrats to all who have made it to the national level! Can states still offer aid to students who are moving on? Does Florida offer state aid? Thanks guys!
@chinchilla8
Yeah the login number they gave you is your ENF ID.

I emailed them because I have a similar question. I applied to 10 schools and have only heard from one as the others notify students next month. Do I put down that school as an acceptance and list merit aid Iāve received from them?
Former National Finalist here.
State scholarships are given out ā sometimes. I wouldnāt count on it. My state didnāt give anything. It seems like the lodges themselves are more generous (but itās very much a hit or miss situation).
Elks returned my email and said to still list first choice school even if I havenāt heard from them and just select no not admitted.
Congrats and good luck to those who are moving on to national. I scored low in the financial need category so am not advancing.
I feel like the essay topic is so generic!!
Itās an opportunity to tell them whatever you want about yourself. You should be grateful the prompt isnāt overly constrained.
I am on the list of finalists but still havenāt received an email or letter for a congratulations or for the next application. Anyone else in the same boat?
@Archlion
I would call or email. Everything is due next Friday the 4th.

@Fuzerabit I think Iāll just wait, it still looks like they havenāt finalized the 500 yet since the search only shows 560. Friday the 4th is a pretty early deadline, is the new application long?
@Archlion
Honestly I wouldnāt wait. You need a new teacher rec and they need to receive it by mail, not faxed, not uploaded, by the 4th. And the teacher rec is a new form you have to download from the new application itself.
You also have to submit a copy of your SAR by mail by the 4th.
The rest of the online application is fairly easy, just report your college, any scholarships, your career plans and a short essay.
I turned in my rec form to my teacher yesterday and mailed off my SAR yesterday also.
Will work on my essay this weekend and tweek to have it sent before the deadline.
@Fuzerabit Did you receive an email or a snail mail letter? And was it from the national foundation or from a local/state elks lodge?
@Archlion
It was an email from the National Elks.
It contained a link with the new application.
@Fuzerabit They emailed me saying they sent the email 3 days ago. My Yahoo sent that email to spamā¦ damn Yahoo lol.
@Archlion
Wow! Very cool! Glad you found out what happened! Now get working haha. One more week to go before the second application is due :!!
Hey guys, does anyone know if they read the initial essay in addition to this one? Like I definitely have a different idea for this one but I want to tie in some themes from the first, but I wouldnāt if they were going to be reconsidering my old essay bc Iām sure that would be repetitive
@iris1998
They have access to the original application. I emailed them to ask if I should send a note regarding my parents income and they replied :
As for the financial information, the judges will have access to your original application so if you have explained this in a separate statement on that application it will be considered. Otherwise, you can also include a statement with the Student Aid Report as well.
So you probably can touch upon it but not use word for word what you put before.
