Texas Elks State Association (TESA) Four-Year Scholarship

The Texas Elks State Association awards this scholarship to six graduating Texas high school seniors -- three young men and three young women -- pursuing a four-year bachelor's degree at an accredited U.S. college or university. Winners receive $1,250 per year for four years, for a total of $5,000, paid directly to their school. Selection is based on financial need, academic record, leadership/extracurricular involvement, and character, each weighted equally. No connection to the Elks is required -- any Texas resident and U.S. citizen in this year's graduating class can apply through a local Elks Lodge.
