MEA Scholarship Chairman-Dana Keyes

Scholarship Director'

Donald Dow
(Sebasticook Valley Elks)

The Elks National Foundation provides more than $3.3 million in college scholarships each year to graduating high school seniors. Most of this is provided through the "Most Valuable Student," Scholarship Program. These scholarships are open to any graduating high school senior.

Legacy Awards and Emergency Educational Fund Grants are also available, but only to children of Elk members. The application process and deadlines vary for each of the programs. All applications must go through a local Elks Lodge before reaching the Elks National Foundation office.
