- Applicants need not be related to a member of the Elks.
- High school graduates are not eligible to apply.

- Male and female students compete separately.
- Ranging from $1,000 per year to $12,500 per year, Most Valuable Student scholarships are for students pursuing a four-year degree, on a full-time basis (minimum of 12 semester hours), in a U.S. college or university. All scholarships are in the form of certificates of award conditional upon the full-time enrollment of the winner in an accredited U.S. college or university.
- The Chicago office of the Elks National Foundation will announce the 2020 500 national winners in late April 2020. (Many local Lodges, districts and state Elks associations award their own scholarships through this program. These scholarships are not to be confused with the 500 Elks National Foundation Most Valuable Student Scholarships.)
The 20 top finalists will participate in an all expenses paid Leadership Weekend in Chicago during which they’ll interview with the national judges. These 20 finalists will be vying for two first-place awards of $50,000; two second-place awards of $40,000; and two third-place awards of $30,000. The remaining 14 finalists will receive awards of $20,000. The 480 runners-up will receive fifth-place scholarships of $4,000.

Elks National Foundation Helping Iowa
Kelly McQueen Elk Family Member
The following news article was published by the Grand Lodge on their website. Congratulations Kelly and Roger McQueen! Outstanding examples of “Elks Care – Elks Share”!
Fathers know best
By MIKE CHAMERNIK
Publications Coordinator
Many Members can proudly say that their grandfather was an Elk. How many can
say the same for their grandfather’s grandfather?
Kelly McQueen, of Shenandoah, IA Lodge No. 1122, is a rare fifth-generation
Elk. Her paternal grandmother’s uncle, Len Oviatt, was a Charter Member of the
Shenandoah Lodge in 1908. Oviatt got his brother, William (McQueen’s
great-great-grandfather) to join, and membership has been passed down through
the generations of her family ever since.
Given her family’s history, it was fitting that in 2015 McQueen was the first
female Elk to join the Shenandoah Lodge. The ceremony was presided over by
Roger McQueen, Kelly’s father and President of the Iowa Elks Association at the
time.
“Because of this long line of Elks, I feel that the Elks play a vital role in
my family,” said Kelly McQueen, who is now a Leading Knight. “My parents raised
my brother and I with ideals of supporting veterans, giving back to the
community, and being an important Member of an organization. I grew up
realizing what this meant and knew that Elks was exactly where all of that
could be done.”
Member Cookout Held
Recently the Lodge sponsored a member cookout. A GREAT time was had by all in attendance. Members enjoyed the food, beverages and fellowship.
Annual Lodge Golf Tournament
Shenandoah Elks Lodge #1122 is sponsoring its annual Jim Whitehill
Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, August 24. The event will be held
at the American Legion Country Club in Shenandoah, with an 8 am shotgun
start. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
New this year are hole-in-one prizes, including $10,000 cash on the 135
yd hole #12, sponsored by Wilson Insurance and Lashier, Bonefas, Baldwin
& Co, CPAs. As demonstrated by last year’s results, our intention is
that about 1/2 of the participants will win back their entry fee or
more, due to the generosity of our numerous sponsors. With our format,
virtually everyone has a chance to win!
Come join us for a morning of fun golf, followed by free beer and a meal
at the Lodge following the tournament! Help support the Elks in our
mission of serving our community!
