ELKS 2019

This (https://aim.applyists.net/) is the website, but you’d have to know his username and password…

I don’t think EFC was considered as much as I thought as our EFC is $ 30,000 and our son moved on to the National Semi Finalist round.

My guess is they are coming out by time zone - seems like those who have been notified so far are Eastern time zone

I think every state is different. My son is PA and he hasn’t been notified yet.

When comments say “next round,” unless you’re in top 20, there is no next round. You either get zero, $4000, or top 20 and go to leadership weekend. Please correct me if I’m mistaken. My older son got the $4000 in 2016.

haven’t heard anything in Florida yet

There is another round of judging - this is what my son’s email said:
Your Most Valuable Student application has been reviewed by the State judging committee. We are pleased to inform you that your application has advanced to the next level of judging. You are now a National Semi-Finalist and will receive an Elks National Foundation Scholarship of at least $4,000. Welcome to the Elks family! To participate in the next phase of the selection process, you must complete an Elks Most Valuable Student National Semi-Finalist Application form by March 10, 2019 at 11:59pm PT.

Wait, I thought for those who received the notification today are among the 500 National Semi-Finalists and have already won $4,000. Am I mistaken?

@cckbkn Thanks for the clarification.
So I think that’s where your income comes into play and if they determine that its low enough the student is eligible for the top 20. Good luck!

@StevenToCollege yes congrats on the $4000 scholarship for your student, which my son just now also found out he received too!

Anyone in NC receive a notification yet?

Anyone from Missouri heard yet? Do they only send emails to the semi-finalists or do they get sent to everyone? The email they sent about moving on to districts said “We will notify you of the results of the State level judging via e-mail by March 1, 2019.” That seems to imply everyone will get an email, yes?

What does the portal look like if you move on? I can’t remember if it had a “Fill Out a Supplement” before, but that button is there now. It’s asking for a code, however…

In Illinois, still nothing

My daughter was exhausted and went to bed as soon as she got home from school, I really want to wake her up and have her check her email…

Semi-finalist! So excited!

From NY, and I got an email at 3:56 PM notifying that I moved on to the next round! Super excited to be a National Semi-Finalist!!
Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back.

I’m also curious if there are scholarships at the Lodge, District, and State levels of this competition…

anyone from CA been notified?

Has anyone from VA been notified yet?

anyone from GA hear anything?
