2024 Kentucky Elks Scholarship Report MVS and State Winners

In the MVS contest, Kentucky had one national finalist who made the top 20 nationwide,

Rukhshona Tursunova, from Cooper High School and sponsored by Florence Lodge #314, who will attend the Elks Scholar Leadership Weekend in Chicago and will receive a $30,000 scholarship. Ashley is the seventh Kentucky student in the last seven years to be a national finalist. Kentucky also has three other national semi-finalists, who each received a $4,000 award.

The State Association generously allotted $20,000 to provide state association scholarships for eight boys and eight girls in the class of 2023.

Legacy Award Winners (Children and Grandchildren of Elks) will be announced at the end of April /beginning of May and I will inform everyone when that announcement is made.

A list of MVS and State Scholarship winners for 2024 is attached.

Again, I would once again encourage your lodges to send representatives to the Senior nights for our MVS, State, and Legacy winners. Let your communities know how proud we are as Elks to help this kids.
