Scholarship Thank You Letter?

I was awarded a scholarship over two months ago. Everyone else sent their thank you cards a week after being awarded the scholarship but I never did..

Should I send a thank you card this late (over two months) and remind them I never sent a card, or should I just forget about it?

    Just like writing thank you letters to grandparents or aunts and uncles even after many months of receiving their gifts is still a good idea, so is writing your thank you letter to the scholarship granting organization a good idea, even now at this late date.

    If you currently are enrolled as a college student, you can write about how you are applying your scholarship funds and proving to be a worthy recipient of the award.

    No doubt your parents taught you about the etiquette of writing thank you letters and other polite behaviors. If not, you can visit the campus library or the local public library and ask a reference librarian to help you find a recent book on etiquette you can check out, read, and learn more.. Emily Post is a popular etiquette author.
