Dorothy M. Yothers Second Chances Scholarship Grant

The Dorothy M. Yothers Second Chances Scholarship, offered by the Washington State Elks Association, aims to support mature women over 25 in achieving their vocational and technical education goals. Each recipient can receive up to $1,000 per quarter, based on financial need, and the scholarship is renewable contingent upon maintaining a GPA of 3.0. This initiative honors the legacy of Dorothy M. Yothers, promoting empowerment and education for women in Washington State.

Making a Difference in Washington State
The Washington State Elks Association is essentially a charitable organization. From April 1 through March 31, the Elks of Washington State generate funds and volunteer work in support of our many programs.
Supporting Communities Across Our State
Elks lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course, or pool. We continue giving scholarships to students in our communities, promote Americanism, youth activities, and fight the war on drugs through our Drug Awareness Program.
This scholarship is designed to help deserving mature women offset some of the costs of achieving their financial goals. Recipients can receive up to $1,000 per quarter based on their specific financial need. This scholarship is renewable up to completion of the course based on a GPA of 3.O.
Although Dorothy, the wife of Bob Yothers, Past Grand Exalted Ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, has flown off to a brighter dawn, her legacy lives on today.
