Sample Scholarship Inquiry Letter

© NASFAA 2013 1

This letter provides a sample format for inquiring about private student aid funds. Of course, you
must first identify foundations and organizations which offer such assistance well in advance of
any application deadlines. You can get help finding the names and addresses of private aid
sources by conducting a scholarship search on the Internet or from a reference librarian in your
public library or local school. Once you have obtained contact information you will need to
customize this letter to reflect your own background and needs by replacing the bracketed bold
text below.

[Ms. Susan B. A. Dollar]


[Director of Big Money Awards]

[P.O. Box 9999]
[Moneytown, USA 99999-9999]

Dear Ms. Dollar:

I am writing to inquire about any student financial assistance that the [Lots of Money
Organization] may offer to college-bound students.

[Enter a concise paragraph about your background and goals. Try to show how you
meet the requirements of the organization’s financial assistance program(s). If this is
a letter to find out if the organization offers aid, write a short paragraph about how
your background and ambitions coincide with the mission of the organization and
might qualify you for assistance that may be offered.]

I would greatly appreciate information about any student financial assistance available
through your organization, including how I may apply for this assistance. Information about
application forms and deadlines for the [20XX-XX] academic year would also be
appreciated. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me by
phone at [your area code and phone number] or via e-mail at [your e-mail address].

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
