Scholarship Award Summary Sheets
Departments can use these electronic forms when submitting scholarship award requests to the Financial Aid Office. Fill out the correct form based on if it is an initial award or corrections as well as the academic year of the scholarship awards. All completed and signed award summary sheets are to be emailed only.
Where to send Award Summary Sheets and Corrections:
- Award Summary Sheet: fascholarships@mso.umt.edu and umfawardsummarysheets@supportum.org
- Corrections Award Summary Sheet: fascholarships@mso.umt.edu, umfawardsummarysheets@supportum.org and barb.bybee@mso.umt.edu
If an award will be charged to a Sponsored Project (a research grant) it must be routed through ORSP and not sent directly to Financial Aid.

Thank you Letters information:
Most of the scholarships offered at the University of Montana are made possible through the generous support of people who care about students and education. We request that students write these donors a thank you letter to communicate the importance of your department’s scholarship(s). A heartfelt thank you letter gives the donor an opportunity to see how the gift has made a difference in the life of a student and is greatly appreciated.
If you have students who are needing assistance in writing their thank you letter, please direct them to www.supportum.org/thanks.
If you are needing assistance in reviewing, collecting and/or mailing letters, please contact Emily Shankle, Donor Stewardship Manager for the UM Foundation
