GThanks
GThanks is the initiative to show appreciation to the donor and/or their family whose generosity made your scholarship/fellowship possible.
Most of the scholarships offered to Georgia Tech students are made possible through generous support of people who care about students and education. We need your help to communicate the importance of your scholarships to these donors. It gives the donor an opportunity to obtain a glimpse of how the gift has made a difference in your life as a student. Nothing is appreciated more than a kind letter of thanks.
Your letter(s) are due to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid(OSFA) by October 15th.
