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:

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:

Many scholarships awarded to University of Montana students are made possible by the generous support of donors. We encourage students to write a thank you letter to the donor(s) who supported the scholarship(s) they received. This personal outreach is a meaningful way to share with donors the academic achievements and proud moments students feel scholarships helped make possible. If you are working with students who have questions about writing or submitting a thank you letter, please direct them to SupportUM.

 

If you have questions about student thank you letters and the UM Foundation’s stewardship of scholarship donors, please contact a member of the Donor Relations and Stewardship team at thankyou@supportum.org
