Graduation
Thank You Note Samples

Congratulations graduate! Well done. My gift to you: A collection of free graduation thank you note samples. You're welcome!

The first few thank you note samples are geared toward college graduation, and the last ones are more high school-related.

(Psst... Looking for a good graduation gift? Mrs. Fields never disappoints. Boy, girl, young, old: Everyone loves a giant chocolate chip cookie.)

It feels a little formal to write you a thank you note, but I wanted to officially thank you for funding my college degree. I know it wasn't always easy but I always appreciated it. Thanks to you both, I am ready to join the workforce, educated and prepared. I am excited!

I also have to admit I had a blast getting my degree. I learned so much, saw lots of new things, made lifelong friends, and had a ton of fun. I know I have you to thank for all that as well.

Thank you for everything. I hope I can do it for my kids one day. I love you!

Love,

Dear Aunt Freida and Uncle Ted,

Thank you so much for the generous graduation gift. It will be well-used on my trip to Europe this summer. I was going to bring along my old backpack but now I'll be able to get a new one with all the bells and whistles. I can't wait to pick it out.

It was so thoughtful of you to remember me on my special day. Thanks again!
Love,

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Former,

Dear Phyllis and Hank,

I just wanted to thank you both again for coming to my graduation ceremony. It was great to have such a loud cheering section! Phyllis, I know I heard you for sure!

Thank you also of course for the generous gift. I can certainly use that money right now. I truly appreciate it! You are too kind! :)

Best wishes to Jack and Jill.

Sincerely,

Dear Professor / Teacher's Name,

Dear Grandma,

Wow, that was quite a graduation gift! I don't think I've ever seen a check that big made out to me. Now that I'm so educated, I will be smart and invest it! Well maybe I'll use just a little for some new shoes I've had my eye on.

Thank you also for coming to the ceremony. It meant a lot to me to have you there. You looked beautiful and I hope you had fun.

Thanks so much Grandma! I love you!

Dear Mimi and Tom,

Thank you for coming to my graduation party. It was so nice to see you both. I appreciate the money and plan to put it towards decorations for my dorm room. I'm going to have fun shopping!

Thanks again.
