Scholarship Appreciation Letter
A student helped out in meeting education expense through a scholarship or bursary should immediately thank the scholarship awarding organization or individual. A prompt response will please the fund extending party and might leave their doors open for such assistance to the student in future.
Scholarship appreciation letter is written on the same format as other letters of appreciation, but the student should highlight that how important was the timely funding for him to complete his studies and he genuinely obliged by their program of financial assistance for deserving and talented students.
It is better to start the letter with thanking the person or head of the organization who have given the scholarship. A sentence that you were excited for having your request accepted.
In the next paragraph, give some information about your course, and since now being relaxed about the financial aspect, you plan to focus more on your studies.
Again close the letter with highlighting how important this scholarship is and thank the organization for giving due consideration to your application.
Close the letter with salutation. Also, be concise and to the point, and avoid writing a lengthy piece.

Dear Mr. Smith
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for approval of much-needed funding to help me finance my education expense. The scholarship has come as great help for me to stay away with worries of my education expense and focus on my studies.
Without getting the scholarship, I would have faced many difficulties in meeting my education expense. The only other way for me was to take a part-time job, which could have affected my concentration on my studies. This course is very important for my career prospects. I have been working very hard over past couple of years and confident in passing it with impressive grades.
I thank you again for kind consideration of my application and awarding me the scholarship. I look forward to be in communication with you. I can also provide you with regular updates about studies if you like.
Yours sincerely
