lindsay217: I don’t think the donor matching thing affects your scholarship at all. They say it is like a pen-pal system, that sort of personalizes your scholarship. They match you up with someone who donates to the scholarship program as a whole - maybe by your area, University, or major. That gives you someone to thank personally, and gives the sponsor a sense of the type of student they are actually helping. You are supposed to update them on your progress each semester. It says on the letter that it will in no way affect the scholarship judging. Good luck!
