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.
