Each year, returning students are asked to complete a Named Scholarship Form during the financial aid application process. The information provided is used to match students with possible sources of aid. Students who receive named scholarships are notified that a portion of their institutional gift aid is being funded by the scholarship and are asked to write thank you notes to the donor. These thank you notes are important because without the more than 400 named scholarships provided through the generosity of donors, institutional scholarships and grant aid would be negatively impacted.

Although a student’s overall financial aid award does not increase when awarded a named scholarship, their initial grant and scholarship aid would be as much as 20% less without the funding provided through named scholarships. Additionally, a Named Scholarship Luncheon is held each year to recognize both named scholarship donors and recipients. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to meet their scholarship donors and further express their appreciation for the funding that helps make their Lawrence University education possible.

In the spring, a thank-a-thon is held at various locations throughout campus to provide students with another opportunity to send notes to scholarship donors. However, thank you notes can be written at anytime and forwarded to the donor relations office located in Landis Peabody, for delivery to the scholarship donor.
