Greencastle Elks announces scholarship opportunity

The Elks National Foundation recently announced the start of the 2021 Most Valuable Student scholarship contest.

The Most Valuable Student scholarship is available to high school seniors who are United States citizens. Applicants do not need to be related to a member of the Elks. Males and females compete separately and are judged on academics, service, leadership and financial need.

The application must be completed online and must be submitted by the Nov. 15 deadline. The 500 national winners will be announced in April 2021, after the top 20 finalists participate in the Leadership Weekend in Chicago.

Through the contest, the ENF will award 20 top scholarships ranging from $20,000 to $50,000. The remaining 480 runners-up will receive $4,000 scholarships.

Applications for the 2021 contest are available on the Elks National Foundation’s website. For complete Most Valuable Student scholarship contest details, including the application link, visit enf.elks.org/MVS.
