The Louisiana State Elks Association awards twelve one-time scholarships each year to graduating Louisiana high school seniors, with awards ranging from $1,100 to $2,500 split between young men and young women. Selection weighs your scholarship record, leadership, and financial need, and the money pays out once you're enrolled full-time at any accredited U.S. college or university. It uses the same application as the Elks National Foundation's Most Valuable Student program, so one application covers both.
