The Tlygowa Scholarship, which was named after the legendary Elfinshi Lady Tlygowa the Lyrist, was an award for students from Elwynn and certain foreign countries to study at Elwynnese institutes of higher education. Established in 1509 by a Charter as well as a monetary donation, both of which were granted by Dame Gudrun Eriksdotter in her capacity of Honourary Duchess of Elwynn, the award was considered to be one of the most prestigious scholarships of the Froyalanish community. No copy of the founding charter has ever been uncovered, bringing its historicity into doubt.

The award was discontinued in 1651 after the Auspicious Occasion.
