"I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the Elks National Foundation for recognizing the needs of children of deceased members. It has been over 14 years since my father passed away and financial hardship has burdened my family since that time. With your assistance, I will be able to continue my undergraduate studies at Lycoming College, where I am pursuing a Bachelor’s of science degree in biology in the hopes of continuing on to graduate school for a Masters in Physician Assistant’s degree."
