A scholarship is a dream of each and every student. It is a reward of your merits and excellent academic performance. It is something which makes you feel special and distinct from others. Every year many students apply for the scholarship, but only a few extra meritorious ones can achieve it. There are even times when someone with a less impressive list of achievements is called up for a scholarship interview and the ones having a higher list of achievement do not qualify for it.
There are many reasons for the rejection of your scholarship application. Most scholarships specify the terms and conditions under which prospective candidates are eligible if you fail to adhere to these conditions the chances are that you might get rejected. Even if your scholarship application gets rejected, you should not loose hope because scholarship selection process is quite subjective in some areas and hence even if you feel you own it the selection committee might not think in the same way.
Tips to Write a Rejection – School to Scholarship Applicant Letter.
- Choose your words quite carefully so that the morale of the applicant does not go down.
- You must not use harsh words instead be empathetic while writing the letter.
- Thank the applicant for applying, express the difficulty of the selection process.
- Appreciate the credentials of the student rather than directly stating him to be rejected.

We regret that we are not able to offer you scholarship this year for the_______(Name of the Program).

We received much more applications this time than we had thought, so the screening process became quite difficult. We would just like to say that each of you is exceedingly talented and meritorious. None of you was rejected instead only one you got selected.
We appreciate you for your interest. Lots of best wishes for your future endeavour. Have a bright future.
Thanking You,
