8. Scholarships: Sample Scholarship Appeal Pieces
[Sample #1]
The
Mid-Atlantic Alumni Chapter is pleased to announce the
formation of the:
Truman
State University Washington DC Intern Scholarship
Please join
us in supporting this new scholarship for Truman State
University students. This scholarship fund will assist
students who are chosen by the University to participate in
an internship program in Washington, D.C. The scholarship
will be endowed when it reaches $10,000 and will be awarded
annually to assist students with expenses incurred by
participating.
We would
like to thank an anonymous donor for a lead gift of over
$1,000 to kick-off the campaign.
Everyone
can join the President’s Club! All gifts are tax-deductible
and will be used to build the endowment for this
scholarship. Your gift will be recognized in the program
for next year’s scholarship dinner. In addition, donors who
make gifts of $500 or more to Truman State University will
be recognized as members of the John R. Kirk Society.
Please join your fellow Truman State University alumni in
helping to continue the Truman / Washington DC connection!

Dear Name:
I want to
take this opportunity to thank you for your generous support
of Truman. As the president of the Chicago Alumni Chapter
and a member of the Truman Alumni Association Board of
Directors, I understand how important alumni gifts are to
Truman. Truman’s great value is due in no small part to our
amazing alumni and friends and their loyal support.
As a strong
supporter of Truman, I am writing to you because I need you
to join me in a very important cause. Many of the Truman
State University Alumni Chapters have established
scholarships to benefit the students from their area. The
Chicago Alumni Chapter wants to provide that same support
for its students. As a result, we are preparing to launch a
campaign to raise $10,000 to endow the Chicago Alumni
Chapter Scholarship. The Scholarship will benefit Chicago
area students who meet the following criteria:
·
A
student who is entering his or her Junior or Senior year,
and
·
A
student who has high academic standing, and
·
A
student who displays strong leadership skills
In early
October, a member of the Chicago Alumni Chapter Scholarship
Steering Committee will contact you. I hope that you
will consider joining this effort by pledging $100 to the
Scholarship. Your gift will help us raise the $3,000
lead gift that we need to launch this scholarship campaign.
Thank you
in advance,
