SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
Congratulations to the recipients, educators, parents, community, and scholarship organizations for the continuing support in education for students!
​
Next steps!
1. Write a Thank You letter, note, email, or card - mail, email, or hand-deliver.
2. Register for classes - submit enrollment registration to the committee with school information.
3. Follow up with your scholarship award - ask the scholarship committee for updates or other questions.
4. Confirm that your financial aid officer received your scholarship.
​
TIP: When you send a Thank You letter or card, your name, and gratitude will be remembered for future scholarships. All you have to do is send your note and keep up the good work with school and life.
