2024 KY Elks Scholarship Report MVS, State, and Legacy Winners

In the 2024 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. Rukhshona 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 2024.

Kentucky had 7 Legacy Award Winners (Children and Grandchildren of Elks) in 2024, even though we were only guaranteed four winners.

A list of MVS, State, and Legacy Scholarship winners for 2024 is below.

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.
