Writing thank you letters once you have received scholarships
November 25, 2011
You may apply for several college grants and scholarships, but there is no guarantee that you're going to receive every prize. Earning just a few can be a great accomplishment, and it's important to acknowledge and thank those who have given you the money to attend the college of your choice.
Thank you letters are a standard practice once you receive news that you have won the cash prize. It's important to show your appreciation to the institution that has provided you with the funds, and CollegeScholarships.org says there are a few ways you can do it.
Make sure you send your thank you letter as a hard copy, rather than an email. This adds a professional touch that can let recipients know that you appreciate their decision to give you this award.
Although the letter should be formal, don't hesitate to add your own personal touch to the note as well. By taking the time to plan out what you want to mention in your thank you letter, you can make sure that you're showing your gratitude toward those who are willing to invest money in seeing you succeed.
