Eligibility
Any child or grandchild of a living Elk is eligible to apply. The Elk must be a contiguous, dues-paying Elk through March 31, 2026. An applicant's Elk parent or grandparent must be a paid-up member in good standing at the time of application, but if the Elk chooses not to renew membership, that decision will not affect the outcome of the Legacy Awards contest.
If the applicant's parent and grandparent are both Elk members, the applicant must select the parent's Elks Lodge on the application.
The applicant must be a high school senior.
Legacy Awards may only be applied to accredited US American schools, colleges or universities.

Dispersment
The Lodge will disperse funds directly to the university or college. Monies may be split between the academic institution and an established 529 Plan in the name of the student.
The student may also present to the Lodge a proposal for dispersing funds. The Lodge may provide limited information to guide a student in obtaining a 529 Plan.
