2016 Elks MVS Scholarship

Same here! Congrats to all :slight_smile:

Didnā€™t need your commentary
Anyway I heard and I advanced!
Woo hoo!
Congrats to all that have moved onā˜ŗļø

Very excited to say I also got an email from the national foundation saying I advanced! Congratulations to all of you who also did. I didnā€™t get the email from my local lodge - in fact Iā€™m not sure my local lodge has an email they still use because my emails never go through to the one listed on their website @fishgill

@CourtneyThurston
It has nothing to do with being grateful and I can express myself how I choose.
I am very grateful for every opportunity I have and will receive.

Good luck to everyone on this scholarship and any others you may have applied for.

Also just got an email from the national foundation that I advanced to the next level! Anyone else from NYC? I submitted my application to a lodge in Long Island.

Iā€™m from long island @ihave2020vision.
So states is next, right?

The next level is districts! Then after that is states, then the national level :slight_smile:

@kayleighbrown thanks! so what was this level, sorry, i donā€™t know much about it

@fishgill - believe this is just the local level.
Does anyone know if how many applicants they advance to the next level?

@fishgill this level was the local level where you only compete against others who also turned in applications to that lodge (I once read 3 boys and 3 girls move on to the next level from each lodge but Iā€™m not sure if thatā€™s correct). Next is districts where you compete against others who moved on from lodges within the same district (on the Elks websiteā€™s lodge locator you can see how many other lodges are in the same district). If you move on from there (which hopefully we all do!) you move onto states and compete against the winners from all of the different districts within your state. Then if you advance you are at the national level! This is my understanding of it, if Iā€™m wrong somebody may feel free to correct me :slight_smile:

I GOT EMAILED TOO ABOUT MOVING TO THE NEXT LEVEL SOOOOO HAPPY!!! :slight_smile: Even though I figure thatā€™s as far as I will get XDDD

New York

do yall think all emails were sent? :frowning: didnā€™t get an emailā€¦idk why i try anymoreā€¦anyways, congratulations to you guys! Good luck.

A lot of lodges probably donā€™t even get enough applications that they need to reject any

@SpicyTaquito At least for my lodge, I was told that all applicants would be informed of whether or not they moved on. I donā€™t know how the process works, but some regions may be notified later than others. Good luck! :slight_smile:

Any one from Charlotte?

I got the national e-mail, but still waiting for the official statement (amount) from the local lodge /:slight_smile:

ah!! i did not receive an email. what should i do?

@bubsbubbles
Congrats!!! Yes it was the national email. The site says local lodges may not email individually. We shall see:)
Find any other scholarships?

Still no emailā€¦ :expressionless:
