Patrick Said:

If I thank him in person, is a scholarship thank you letter necessary?

We Answered:

I would send the letter, now. If you want to send a follow-up "nice to meet you" letter, that would probably be good, too.

Ernest Said:

Should I send SCHOLARSHIP THANK YOU letter after I find out where I'm attending?

We Answered:

I would send the thank you letter as soon as possible. After all, it was given to you for some sort of accomplishment and not necessarily based on what college you would be attending. So, send the thank you now and then send another note after you've received your acceptance letter from the school you plan to attend so your generous supporters can keep rooting for you.

Dora Said:

I want to send a scholarship thank you letter to CSEA...?

We Answered:

First, congratulations on winning the scholarship! I think it's wonderful that you want to send a thank you letter to CSEA.

Is there a phone number on the any of the letters they sent you? How about contacting your college and asking a financial aid officer? They should have a record of the funds they received when the posted the scholarship money to your tuition account.

Good luck! If you need any more scholarship help, please feel free to visit www.how2winscholarships.com

Sheila Said:

Scholarship thank you letter help?

We Answered:

Thank you for remembering to write the thank you note! I'm impressed.

Begin with Dear Members of ... or just Dear (Club Name)

The 1st paragraph should thank them for their gift, and be specific about the amount and when you received it. Keep it short..just a couple of sentences.

In the next paragraph, tell them how the gift will help you, i.e., books, tuition, etc.

Use the third paragraph to reiterate your appreciation of the gift.

Close with a "sincerely" or "in appreciation."

Again, I'm glad you're writing the note. Trust me, the club members will appreciate your message no matter how you write the words.

Annie Said:

How can I write a great thank you letter for scholarship?

We Answered:

Dear Scholarship Donor:
The words "Thank You" can not express my true gratitude for the opportunities which your assistance has opened for me. Thanks to your contribution toward my educational goals, I will be able to focus on excellence more than necessity. Please be assured that I will keep your trust in mind. Hoping my success will reflect brightly upon your generosity.
Sincerely,
X

Or something along those lines- but I would rewrite the letter for each award having a thesaurus handy and mixing up praises etc. Mostly make it your heartfelt gratitude in them for making a good choice for funds that will be put to good use. It does not need to be a long letter. Just letting them know their effort is appreciated shows they made a good choice.
