The Legacy Scholarships offered by the Elks National Foundation provide High School Seniors who are a child or grandchild of a living Elk member who is in good standing with their Lodge and has been a member for at least 3 years. The student receives $1,000 per year for four years to help pay for college. Winners of the Scholarship (excluding first-year) are also required to provide one year of service to the sponsoring Elk Lodge.  Here are some of the things that the students can do to meet the service requirement:

• Rebound at a Hoop Shoot contest.
• Judge scholarship applications for the next class of Elks scholars.
• Serve with one of your Lodge’s Community Investment Program grant projects.
• Help create an online presence for your Lodge through Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

• Help create an online presence for your Lodge through Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
• Design an online newsletter/email campaign for the Lodge.
• Organize a virtual food or supply drive to support community members in need.
