This includes completed application, essay, resume, school transcript, recommendation letter, and sign-off by Guidance Counselor for high school students. 

The applications will be reviewed, and recipients selected by a committee consisting of volunteers from E.L.C.C.  Each submission is examined for completeness and accuracy.  The E.L.C.C Scholarship Committee can enlist others to be a part of this Committee or provide input at their sole discretion. 

 

Please submit the following documents with your application:

❑   Completed Scholarship Application. Please type your responses, including "N/A" for items that are not applicable to you. The application must be completed in its entirety and submitted by Monday, May 1, 2023, by 11:59 p.m.

❑   Essay with prepared answers in 1,000 words or less

❑   One Letter of Recommendation. Students can request the recommendation letter be either mailed or e-mailed to ELCC. Attn: E.L.C.C. Scholarship Committee, PO Box 191, Fuquay-Varina, NC  27526, or e-mail to us at ELCCScholarshipFund@gmail.com.

❑   Current, Unofficial Academic Transcript. (Official transcript will be required if awarded)

 

If Selected:

❑   Current, Official Academic Transcript. You must request that your registrar send this to E.L.C.C. directly via email (EVERLAST092109@yahoo.com) or mail (PO Box 191 Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526) in a sealed envelope.  We will not accept student copies or other unofficial transcripts. Most schools assess a nominal service charge to send official transcripts. Applicants are responsible for this fee. If mailed, your transcript should also be postmarked by: Monday, May 30, 2023 by 11:59 p.m.

 

It is your responsibility to ensure that your registrar’s office has enough time (usually three to four weeks) to process your request and provide your transcripts to you or E.L.C.C by the due date. We can only accept original documents, so you cannot fax materials to us. E.L.C.C is not responsible for items lost or improperly handled by the U.S. Postal Service. 

 

Please plan carefully so that your application receives the consideration it deserves.
