Wyoming Elks Scholarships

Scholarship Sponsored by Wyoming Elks

Introduction
We recognize many capable students in Wyoming who lack the financial means to continue their education. The Wyoming Elks Association helps by providing annual student scholarships so motivated, hardworking youth can pursue college, university, or vocational training.

Overview
Each year the Wyoming Elks Association distributes a total of $20,000 in scholarship funds to residents of Wyoming. Deadlines for the various awards fall between March 1 and April 1. Awards support a range of postsecondary options—some restricted to Wyoming colleges and universities, others available for institutions throughout the United States, and certain grants designated for vocational or technical programs.
