Thanking the Donors
If you received an Annual or Endowed Scholarship your award is funded solely through the generosity of donors. Without donors, most of our scholarships would not be possible. Therefore taking the time to thank donors for helping you attend college is important.
You were awarded a scholarship because your personal situation, qualities, attributes and academic abilities stood above all other worthy applicants. Having your thank you letter on file impacts the disbursement of the scholarship(s) for which you were selected as well as your eligibility for future scholarship awards.
Tips for Thank You Letters
- Double-check the information for spelling and grammatical errors.
- Your personality helps the donor to understand who you are and how their gift is going to impact your future. Express enthusiasm.
- Let them know what your academic and career goals are.
- Keep it brief and write clearly and concisely.
- If the scholarship(s) you were awarded requires a thank you letter, follow the instructions on your award letter(s) to complete the process accurately.
