Does anyone have experience with the Elks Scholarship? Do you know how much financial need is taken into consideration when evaluating applicants?
Saw your PM but I’ll answer here for the good of anyone else reading. Financial need is considered fairly significantly. You can make it to the top 500 with a middle class income, but you will not make top 20 unless you have enormous financial need. There is a points system published online – different categories give you different scores, and they add up to a composite. Whether you win or not is based on the composite. I won at the $4000 level and I’d estimate my score at about 900+ or so.
Thanks @CourtneyThurston I’ll look for the point system online!
