It’s scholarship application time! Let’s be honest; scholarships are among the most important parts of your college experience, but earning the scholarship by completing the application and personal statement is not exactly easy or fun. This handout reviews the UIS Donor-Funded Institutional Scholarship Application to make that process a little easier!
In addition to the explicit thank you, another aspect of the scholarship thank you letter is to explain how these funds will impact your studies and your future: why it matters. To effectively explain, you will need to offer up some details about yourself, including your past, present, and future. Let’s unpack what might fit into each:
The weeks before finals can be a very stressful time for students, and it is important to take time to relax and relieve some stress through fun activities.
There will be a variety of fun activities students are welcome to partake in such as: outdoor games, frisbee, door raffle for prizes, sensory bottles, flower pot painting, chalk, and much more! Food will also be provided at the event.
A Pre-Nursing and Nursing collaboration, in partnership with SNA and Memorial Health.
