Scholarship donors and representatives enjoy receiving letters from students who benefit from their scholarships.  Included below is some information that will help you write a thank you letter to your scholarship donor/representative.

Thank You Letter Guidelines:

1. Your letter must be submitted in the UM Scholarship Portal in a Microsoft WORD or PDF format.
2. The name(s) of the donor(s) will be included in the post-acceptance email you receive via the UM Scholarship Portal.  Please be sure to include them in your letter.
3. Once you have submitted your letter, the FCFC Director of Development and Alumni Relations will proof read your final draft for spelling and grammatical errors.  Your scholarship donor’s impression of you will be impacted by any spelling or grammatical errors contained in the letter.
4. If possible, include a quality electronic signature in your uploaded letter.  You can make one by signing a piece of plain white paper, scanning it as a JPEG and placing it in the letter. 

Please use the letterhead provided by the UM Foundation contained in the link below to write your thank you letters to the donors of your scholarship if they are required.
