Scholarship Thank you letter example.......

I am writing to thank you for your generous $2,000.00 Steven J. Weiss Endowed Memorial Scholarship Scholarship. I was very happy and appreciative to learn that I was selected as the recipient of your scholarship.

I am a Biology major with an emphasis in physiology and anatomy. I plan to pursue a career in pharmacy upon graduating from Kean University of New Jersey. I am currently a junior carrying 17 units, and plan to graduate in the fall of 2007. After graduation, I plan to attend XYZ Pharmacy School to earn my pharmaceutical degree. Thanks to your generous scholarship, I am now one step closer to achieving my goal.

By awarding me the Steven J. Weiss Endowed Memorial Scholarship Scholarship, you have lightened my financial burden which allows me to focus more on the most important aspect of school, learning. I hope one day that I will also be able to help struggling students reach their goals in Higher Education by assisting them in the same way you have helped me. Thank you.
