Advanced to districts too

Congrats, @ambkeegan!

Congratulations to your son DiotimaDM! Keeping our fingers crossed that everyone here makes it to State!

Is the state level where you get at least 4k? I made it to districts, and I suppose I’m eligible for local Elks scholarships. Speaking of which, does anyone know how you can find out if your sponsoring lodge gives scholarships?

The guaranteed $4k comes when you advance from state to nationals, though only the top 20 go to the interview weekend.

Right now, people have advanced to districts. The districts will forward people to state, and then states will forward to nationals.

how did you all find out you made it to districts?

@nerd1222 Elks sent an email in December.

has there ever been someone who hasn’t received the email but still made it to the next stage?

Yep. Check your spam folder, and if there’s nothing there, you can contact your lodge.

my friend got an email today that he advanced

Congratulations!!

From districts to state?

Posting the state is helpful, too, if the person is OK with it. :slight_smile:

Stats are welcome, but not necessary if someone doesn’t want to. Stats help others assess whether they might be competitive.

anyone advanced from districts to state?

Yes, that’s what this next advance is - from district to state. We have one report (above) of someone doing that. The rest of the us should hear by or on Friday. I’m reasonably sure that the districts don’t all notify on the same day.
