Student Thank You Letter/Supplemental Request

Many Pepperdine University scholarships are funded through the generosity of private donors and foundations. These scholarships are awarded annually, subject to donor fund availability. Historically, student thank-you letters and/or any supplemental information requests have helped to ensure continued scholarship funding from donors and foundations.

The Office of Financial Assistance will send an email to recipients of scholarships that require documentation. The email will provide a link to complete the requests before the Fall semester begins (and throughout the school year as needed). The Stewardship Office will ensure that the appropriate letters and/or supplemental request(s) are forwarded to the donors.

Immediate submission of your thank you letter/supplemental request(s) will provide the Office of Financial Assistance the time to process your letter.

Your scholarship will disburse once your thank you letter and/or supplemental request(s) is removed from your To-Do-List. Your scholarship is subject to cancellation, if your thank you letter/supplemental request(s) are not received.

I emailed my thank you letter, but it is still showing on my "To-Do List."

Thank you letters and/or supplemental request(s) cannot be accepted via email! The thank you letter and supplemental request process is solely an online submission via our scholarship platform. Please follow the email instructions provided in the email that you received from our office. 

I am not sure how to write the thank you letter. What do I need to include?

View this link with guidelines to help you compose your letter. You will be asked to resubmit the letter through the scholarship platform if it does not meet the criteria listed. This may impede the funds disbursing timely on your account. If you need help, visit the Writing Center at Payson Library for assistance.

Where can I find the donor's name for my letter salutation?

You will find the salutation information on the top left side of the page when you use the link to enter the scholarship platform.
