I had a great time on the Winter Service Trip. |
When I transferred to Missouri State, I began to explore grant opportunities. After all, the cost of a four-year university was much more expensive than my local community college. This is where my journey with the ENF would begin. While exploring options, I heard about the Emergency Educational Grant program made possible by the ENF. This program offers grants of up to $4,000 to children of deceased or permanently disabled Elks members. In my first year, I was extremely lucky to receive this grant. My involvement with the ENF would continue to grow, through participation in Scholar Service Trips. And, I was recently appointed to serve on the Elks National Foundation Scholar Advisory Board.

I loved connecting with my #ElksFamily in Reno. |
As we ended the board meets board dinner, a dinner where the Scholar Advisory Board meets with the Elks National Foundation Board of Trustees, we all shared a little bit about our experience. In this moment, I did not just see the Board. It really dawned on me, in that moment, just how much the Foundation was family to me. This same organization that had helped me when I was unsure about what my plans were. When I did not even know what the ENF was, they took a chance on me.
In 2017-18, the Elks
National Foundation allocated $323,890 to fund the Emergency Educational Grant
program for children of deceased or totally disabled Elks. If you know any Elks
children who may be eligible to receive an Emergency Educational Grant,
encourage them to visit enf.elks.org/eeg for information, including eligibility and
deadlines.
