The scholarship letter is an opportunity to prepare a short statement explaining why you feel qualified for the scholarship. When preparing your letter, make certain that you have the appropriate contact name, position title and the full name of the organization that administers the scholarship. Any correspondence you have with college or organization officials should be taken as seriously as the essay you write for your application, as it leaves an impression with the reader. If you choose to use a preformatted letter, choose a professional format, avoiding artsy or overly informal template styles. Also remember to be concise and use the spell-check feature. Have the letter proofread before you send it and include a self-addressed-stamped-envelope to cover the cost of return the postage for the materials you have requested.
