Every year, current Lynn University students are invited to apply for endowed scholarships. The application process typically opens during the month of February. If a student is successful in the application process, they will be asked to complete a Thank You letter, addressed to the donor who has funded the scholarship. The Thank You Letter guidelines are provided below:

Congratulations on your scholarship! Before these scholarship funds are transferred into your student account, a thank you letter to the donor is required.

In addition to a show of gratitude, your letter should give the donor(s) a sense of who you are.  To guide you, here are a few things you should include:


  • Scholarship name
  • Personal information: -where you’re from (hometown, country)

                                              - your family

                                              -your goals, hobbies, sports

  • Academic information: -what year you are in

                                                -your major, GPA, and anticipated graduation date

                                                -what you like about Lynn University

  • Gratitude:  -how their scholarship will help you achieve your goals


Along with your thank you letter, please send us a photo of yourself. You also are welcome to send photos of your family (including pets) –especially if you mentioned them in your letter.  The photos may be informal pictures.  Please identify yourself in group photos. Your letter and photo are due before the deadline date listed on your award letter.

The minimum word count is 250 words. Once received, it will be formatted and processed. We will then contact you to come by the University Advancement office in the Schmidt Building to sign your letter.  Letters will be processed on a first come first serve basis.

Thank you letters from students demonstrate to donors how much we all appreciate them.  With their help, talented students like you receive a quality education.  We hope in the future you, too, will remember Lynn and give back by extending a helping hand to other students.


Please note, that if you have previously received this scholarship, you are required to write a new letter and send in a new photo.

If you send in a family photo, you must identify yourself in the photo for the Donor.
