Bulldog Gratitude (Thank You) Process

Congratulations on being selected for a donor-funded scholarship, Bulldog!

You received a scholarship from a generous donor and now a thank you letter is required before funds can apply towards your student account. You will receive a detailed message to your Ferris email with information about the amount of your scholarship award and your thank you note requirement. The scholarship notification email will come to you from either your college or from the Scholarships office.

additional information

It is important to note that completing the Bulldog Gratitude (thank you) process is a requirement for most scholarships to apply to your  2025/26 e-bill. Failure to complete the process may result in the scholarship being forfeited. Although most missing financial aid  requirements must be completed within 10 days, the deadline for Bulldog Gratitude completion is July 29, 2025. You will receive missing financial aid requirement reminders each week until the requirement has been completed. 

If you have any questions about the thank you process or your scholarship, please contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid at [email protected].
