More than 400 scholarships at WKU are endowed and funded through the generosity of alumni and friends. Scholarships are often named in honor of loved ones, favorite professors or other valued members of the WKU Family. These scholarships provide financial aid for deserving students as they pursue their education at WKU.
WKU encourages recipients of scholarships to write a thank you letter to their donor representative. This effort is known as our Thank You Campaign. Please fill out the Scholarship Recipient Profile below and share some basic information about yourself so that we can share with your donor.
Please be detailed when sharing your information. We will then format your information and send it to your donor.

You may then send it through the mail to: Jill Blythe WKU – Office of Development and Alumni Relations 1906 College Heights Blvd., #11005 Bowling Green, KY 42101 – 1005 OR you may email your letter directly to Jill Blythe to jill.blythe@wku.edu You may utilize the online form below to write your thank you letter.
