Title of Entry: Scholarship Recipient Graduation Announcements for Donors

About this Entry: LSC Foundation wants scholarship donors to join in the celebration of each graduating class so every spring, the Foundation sends out graduation announcements to donors with the names and degrees earned from their scholarship recipients. Whether the graduate received a scholarship that same year or during years prior, the scholarship played a vital role in that graduate’s journey to earn a quality, college education and it’s important to share those achievements with our donors. Our donors love receiving these announcements and seeing returns on their investments in our students’ futures.

The announcements are typically printed on high quality stationary, or Foundation letterhead if the graduate list is quite long, and mailed to donors’ home during graduation season. Due to the pandemic, employees were not allowed into the office to mail announcements this spring. Instead, a custom designed email was sent to donors with the same look and feel as previous mailed announcements.
