The Elks National Foundation Legacy Awards is a scholarship program offered by the Elks National Foundation, which is the charitable arm of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE), also known as the Elks Lodge. The Legacy Awards program is designed to provide financial assistance to the children and grandchildren of current or former Elks members who demonstrate exceptional academic achievements, leadership skills, and community service.
The Legacy Awards are one-time scholarships awarded based on a competitive selection process. The program awards 250 scholarships each year, with a total value of up to $4,000 per scholarship. The scholarships can be used to cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses at an accredited four-year college or university in the United States.
