Instructions for awardee tracking and thanking donors

Hello! If you help administer an award in the UC Santa Cruz PBSci division, then you’ve made it to the right place.

Tracking student awardee information is an important piece of maintaining great relationships with our donors and growing our student awards in the future. We appreciate your collaboration in these efforts.

When giving out awards, please send a notification to the student, utilizing the template below.

Instructions:

  1. Notify student awardees of their award by using the template below and attaching an awards letter of your own making.
  2. Report your student awardees to us by completing this very short google form.

**Please do this immediately upon sending awards letters to your students. This will allow us to get the awardee form to them in a timely manner and ensure we have accurate data on award recipients.
