Writing Thank-You Letters
Once you're notified that you've received a scholarship, it's important to write the donor a thank you note to show your appreciation.
“Honestly, the low cost of living and tuition is what brought me here. I realized I could actually afford to be independent and study here, so I went for it and Kirkwood made it happen.”
