Thank You Letter Instructions

Part of your financial assistance is funded through the generosity of private donors and Pepperdine University. You are required to write a thank you letter to the donor(s).

First time award recipients will receive an email starting the week of August 8 with a link to process the requested thank you letter/supplemental request(s) in our scholarship platform at pepperdine.academicworks.com. Feel free to contact the Office of Financial Assistance at finaid2@pepperdine.edu after August 15, if you have not  received the email with the link to submit your required document(s).

Renewal award recipients and Early Action/Incoming recipients will receive an email starting the week of August 8 with a link to complete the thank you letter/supplemental request(s) at the beginning of August. Feel free to contact the Office of Financial Assistance at finaid2@pepperdine.edu after August 15, if you have not received the email with the link to submit your required document(s).

Failure to submit your completed thank you letter(s) and possible supplemental request(s) may result in late funds disbursement (and non-refundable finance charges) and/or scholarship cancellation. Review the thank you letter guidelines and do not submit until your letter is free of spelling, grammatical, and content errors.

The removal of your thank you letter(s) and possible supplemental request(s) from your To-Do-List will be confirmation that your letter(s) has/have been received and processed.  Allow 7 to 10 business days for the Office of Financial Assistance to process your Thank You Letter before you send an email to finaid2@pepperdine.edu to confirm receipt.

If you need help, contact the Writing Center at Payson Library for assistance.
