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 Iā€™m assuming that meant we wouldnā€™t hear until at least tomorrow.

annnnnnd the nerves creep in since itā€™s this week!! super nervous because I kind of rushed the appā€¦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 didnā€™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 itā€™ll be a heartbreaker if I donā€™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 itā€™s good to know that youā€™ll know by Friday. But it is nerve wracking, I feel the same way

anyone from Miami on here?

My local lodgeā€™s scholarship head sent me an email with a local schcolarship offer so I just emailed her.

@fishgill Haha, true. I think Iā€™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.

Iā€™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. Thatā€™s normal, right?

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