Thank You Letter - Foundation Scholarships

Thank You Template for Students (Word document)  

  • Each WDT Foundation Scholarship requires a thank you letter within two weeks of receiving an award notification email. 
    • A thank you letter must be received before the scholarship fund can be applied to your student account. Send it to WDTScholarship@wdt.eduDon't let "not writing a thank you letter" be a reason your foundation scholarship(s) is revoked and re-awarded to the next person!
