The California-Hawaii Elks Major Project Inc. board of trustees will offer more than $40,000 in undergraduate educational scholarships for the academic year 2010-11 to students with disabilities.

The program will offer 20 to 30 scholarships of $1,000 to $2,000 each. Scholarship recipients can reapply each year. If qualified, they can receive up to four years of assistance.

This scholarship is a financial needs-based and academic use scholarship intended for undergraduate work at a licensed vocational school, accredited community college or four-year college. The funds are to cover academic expenses—tuition, books, lab fees and on-campus room and board only.

Applicants must be a U.S. citizen and a resident of California or Hawaii; have a physical impairment, neurological impairment, visual impairment, hearing impairment and/or speech-language disorder; and be a senior in high school, a high school graduate or have passed the General Educational Development examination or California High School Proficiency examination.
