~ Write a Thank You Letter ~
RPHS friends, alumni, and community donors provide scholarships to help pay for your education because they believe that students like you can make a difference in the world. You are strongly encouraged to express your gratitude to your generous benefactor(s) by writing a thank you letter. A well-written letter reflects favorably on you and is important to the scholarship donor, who appreciates learning about your goals and future plans. Your letter confirms the value of the donor's contributions and encourages his or her continued support.
If you have received a scholarship or award, you may write and submit a thank-you letter. The following is a suggested outline of how you might write your thank-you letter:
Salutation:
Please be sure to address the thank you directly to the donor/donor's family by name. If you are unsure of your donor's name, please contact [email protected] in the Senior Office.

Thank the donor for his/her generosity in providing scholarship funds (mention the name of the scholarship you received). Tell the donor how this scholarship makes a difference to your education.

Paragraph 3:
Tell the donor about your goals and future plans after completing college. Talk about how you plan to give back to RPHS as a future Alumnus.
