ELKS scholarship

<p>UGH!!!! i want a letter at least letting me know i got rejected...</p>

<p>I'm with ya Mesquite_girl24! A letter even one telling me that I got rejected, would be nice.</p>

<p>I got nothing so far, except a notification that it has been forwarded along the grape vine.</p>

<p>Oh application, where art thou?!</p>

<p>Yeah maybe contact your state chairman? That's the only way I knew.</p>

<p>Hmm I wonder if I made it to nationals... =]</p>

<p>That's a good idea CrystalProphecy, I'll try that. :) Hope you make it to nationals!</p>

<p>BUMP!</p>

<p>Anyone else get a notification?</p>

<p>just got a letter letting me know that i got forwarded to the next level of judging!!! but no money yet...</p>

<p>^ haha yay. at least you got some notification!</p>

<p>AMEN! i was sooooo happy. My day was just filled with good news.:)</p>

<p>has anyone besides me gotten 0 notification at all?</p>

<p>^ As I said, try emailing your state chairman. I just emailed him last night and he responded this afternoon telling me that they won't know whether i moved onto nationals for another 2 weeks and will update me as soon as the decisions come out</p>

<p>Otherwise, my local lodge hasn't even tried contacting me once.</p>

<p>okay thanks, i just don't wanna annoy them...again :)</p>

<p>The Elks Scholarship is very much based on need. You could have amazing stats, but if you don't show the need you won't get it. So...still be proud of yourself if you tried but fit into this category!</p>

<p>bump...any news anyone?</p>

<p>Nope. And response to happy2be, that may be correct. I think my family's 2007 tax year was one of the worst it's ever been (though I haven't seen the other years' tax returns...but even without that knowledge, I know 2007 was bad for us) and it probably helped me a lot to getting where I am now in the selection process. I was kinda (ironically) lucky to have a crappy gross income in time for scholarships....</p>

<p>DS just heard that he is going on to the national competition! He was 5th in our state.
He is waiting until April to hear if he got any more $$$$ We hope so!</p>

<p>Congrats! Do you know how many moved on from your state (and where do you live?)</p>

<p>The only thing I know is that there were 5 boys, 5 girls that moved on. (FL)
Best of luck to all!</p>

<p>^ OH DANG. Your son just made the cutoff! Oh oh oh, how I wish my notification email for nationals came sooner...</p>

<p>my D is from Florida and she got a letter 1 month ago that she made the next level! DinDune : how do u know that 5 girls moved on... no one has been notified yet!</p>
