Guidelines for Selecting Recommenders

  • This application requires two (2) recommendations evaluating your qualifications and fit for the Remembrance Scholarship.
    • One recommendation must come from a faculty member who has taught, advised, mentored, or supervised you.
    • The second recommendation can come from an individual who knows you in a professional capacity (employer or supervisor), or can be from another faculty member.
  • In each case, choose recommenders who know you well and who can comment thoughtfully on your abilities and personal attributes, particularly your fit with the Remembrance Scholar selection criteria.

Instructions for Recommendations

  • The application will direct you to input the names of your two recommenders.
  • It is your responsibility as an applicant to direct your recommenders to the appropriate recommendation form by sending them to this link.
    • The application will NOT automatically send your recommenders a prompt to complete the recommendation form; you must contact them and provide the link.
  • Be sure to approach your recommenders early to give them adequate time to compose their responses to the recommendation form’s questions.
  • It is your responsibility to provide your recommenders with any materials that would be helpful to them in completing the recommendation form. Resumes or CVs, transcripts, writing samples, and draft application essays are common resources that recommenders find helpful.
  • When your recommenders submit recommendations, you will receive an email notification, and we will attach the recommendations to your application.
  • The deadline for your recommenders to submit is January 19, 2024.
