Do I really need to write a thank-you note for scholarships and grants awarded to me?
Yes, you really do need to write thank you notes for scholarships and grants awarded to you. They don’t have to be long and flowery, but you do have to acknowledge that these institutions have supported you. Reason? At some future time, you may have reason to contact them for references, or, if you are lucky, they may consider you for another scholarship. Usually, there is not a lot to choose between scholarship applicants. Obviously they all have good grades and meet the required criteria, and that’s when that little thank you note can make all the difference. Congratulations, by the way. It sounds as though you did well.
