Scholarship Awards

Some of you will be receiving award letters in the next few days. Congratulations to those of you whose efforts have paid off.

Now comes the important part. It is critical that you mail a thank you letter as SOON AS POSSIBLE. It is not only the courteous thing to do, but it could mean another scholarship from the donor at a later date.

While we are on the topic of thank you, have you acknowledged all of the professionals, counselors and professors who have written letters of recommendation on your behalf? Also, it would be extra nice if you included a nice bookmark, notepad or even a candy bar in the envelope.

Come on now--do the right thing.
