This thank you letter was sent in August. Though I am late in posting, the message is still powerful.
Dear Mr. McCormick and Family:
I am writing to you because I am the beneficiary of some of the money from the scholarship fund that you have set up at Xavier University. I am writing to thank you for your incredible generosity, and to tell you little bit about myself.
I am currently a senior at Xavier, double majoring in Early Childhood Education and Spanish. I am working to pay my way through school and have supplemented with loans and grants. This semester I am student teaching full time at Norwood Public Schools, so I have been unable to work as much as in semesters past. This leaves me short when it comes to paying my tuition.
Through the help of Mr. Schiess in the Office of Student Success, I was granted funds from your memorial scholarship fund, and the money was matched by the university. I want you to know what a tremendous help the money is to me. Thank you, again, for your generosity in memory of your son and brother. With your help, I am able to successfully complete my last year at Xavier. I promise you that I will work diligently for these last two semesters.
My Xavier education is a gift that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Thank you for being a part of my experience.
Very truly yours,
