answer:Congratulations, @SuperMouse! I really think a personal note either on nice notepaper or on a beautiful blank card would be an excellent way to express your sincere appreciation in your own words. To me that’s more suitable than something on which you spent a lot of money (as if you didn’t really need the scholarship) or just a little (which won’t feel commensurate). A warm, genuine expression of feeling is beyond price. Besides, it’s their words, thought, and time that they gave for you. Further, I would keep these supportive folks in mind as you progress with your program, let them know how you’re doing, and let them know when you finish, with a reminder that you haven’t forgotten their timely assistance.
