<p>OP: Both of my sons are receiving scholarships to attend their schools. Believe me, we are incredibly grateful that they receive these scholarships! We definitely view them as gifts from generous donors and sons write thank you letters and attend luncheons with these donors. Yes, the funds come with academic performance and for the music scholarship playing requirements, but we expect our sons to work hard and they know that the scholarship $ are theirs to lose not earn. Thank you for supporting the scholarships that you do and know that the parents and students truly appreciate your donations!!!</p>
