Any Elks Scholarship Applicants here?

<p>i hope to hear from the state judging people soon</p>

<p>i just heard from the state panel that i wont be going to the national level but they still gave me $800 so at least i got something....oh well, good luck to the rest of you</p>

<p>PS. i am in the California-Hawaii region</p>

<p>CAchild3, what kind of stats do you have? I didnt know that partial scholarships like that are given? maybe its a CA thing.</p>

<p>yeah, local lodges can give money. The Elks is only responsible for 500 awards. Anything else is up to teh state, lodge, or district. I got 3000 from my lodge.</p>

<p>grr... so frustrated. i keep calling my local lodge. they say judging isnt done yet but i should hear something soon... im like- helllooooo, local judging was finished a long time ago. they dont seem to have a clue.</p>

<p>dont know what to tell you, thats really odd...</p>

<p>yeah, I actually visited my lodge to drop off my packet (I guess everyone had to do that) but all I saw were just a bunch of people standing around smoking cigarettes doing nothing. Not a very responsible group some would think.</p>

<p>lol- i agree</p>

<p>That was my EXACT experience!!! They were all smoking and talking...and there was this bar and arcade area....I was really surprised.</p>

<p>wow ecnerwalc, 3k from local lodge? you got a great deal, wat state/region are you from?</p>

<p>At least that's what they said in their letter. I was actually quite surprised. I'm from rural (small town) in Alabama. There was only one kid from my school (senior) who applied. So I don't see many students applying to this schoalrship. So maybe they have a big pot of cash just sitting there doing nothing.</p>

<p>perhaps :)</p>

<p>I still haven't heard from the local lodge since my last post. They were supposed to call me back today but have not. All I know is that when I talked to the receptionist she thought that they had fowarded apps. to nationals.<br>
I'd really like to know though...</p>

<p>Oh, and when I walked into my lodge it was exactly that - a bunch of grisly guys and a few older women taking shots and smoking - I think I got the most normal guy in the place though. I guess it was what I expected though - I never really thought fraternal orgs. did all that much.</p>

<p>no mail today</p>

<p>bsbllallstr8, what are you waiting for? I'm waiting for districts.</p>

<p>letter from the state committee... i dont know why u havent heard... state judging was done the 1st of march</p>

<p>Does anyone know how to find the chair of the district committee? I really want to find out one way or the other.</p>

<p>no idea.. sorry :/</p>

<p>The state committe chairs are listed on the website. Yours would be able to tell you all the district contact information you'd need, I would imagine.</p>
