Scholarships

On May 6, 2019, the scholarship committee wrapped up the school year by holding their annual Youth Awards Night. It was a wonderful event recognizing many of the youth from our area. Awards were presented to Americanism essay winners as well as honor to two local Jr. ROTC Cadets of the Year.
The jurisdiction of the Dixie Elks Lodge is all of the high schools in Washington county, Kane county and Fredonia, Arizona. Representatives from our lodge visit all of the 15 high schools in September and talk with seniors about how to access scholarships from the Elks. Note: Nationwide Elks give away more money in scholarships than any other entity except the United States government. The total is around $30 million dollars a year.
At our awards night, a girl and a boy from each high school were recognized as student-of-the-year. They each received a gift bag with gift cards and cash. Following that 26 scholarships were awarded totaling $46,100 to our local students. These awards ranged from $500 to $5,000.
Not all scholarships are for high school seniors. Some are for existing college students and those with disabilities. Anyone interested in Elks scholarship should check this website at the beginning of the school year for applications, qualifications and due dates.
