Thanking your donor is now easy! Here’s how:
- Record a 1-minute video thanking the donor of your BU scholarship.
- You can use your phone, laptop, or tablet.
- Try to find a room with a lot of natural light and avoid busy areas with lots of people and traffic.
- Make sure to film horizontally, so you fill the frame.
- Begin the video by saying your name and class year.
- Mention academic achievements you are most proud of and any extracurricular activities.
- Tell them how their support made a difference in your time at the BU and how it prepared you for future success.
- If you know your donor’s name, use it. If not, say thanks, and we will do the rest.
- Above all else, be yourself, relax, and have fun.
To record a video, please click the Record Video button. A screen will open, then click Start Recording. After one or multiple takes, click Stop Recording. If you're satisfied with your recording, click the Submit Video button. That’s it.
Thank you! Donors love receiving these messages, and we know they can help encourage future giving to support students just like you.
