Recommendation Requests

When requesting a recommendation you should follow a particular protocol:

1. Make an appointment to go over the details involved with your recommendation request
2. If possible, request a generic reference that can be used for multiple scholarships and job opportunities
3. Give the faculty member/reference writer sufficient time to complete reference – 3 weeks is the norm and give them a deadline
4. Provide the writer with a postage paid envelope.
5. Give the person guidelines for writing the reference
   • Provide them with something from the scholarship, if applicable
   • Provide them with information about you – your strengths, activities, resume or research proposal
   • Let them know about community work/related jobs you have done/held outside of the classroom

Beware of Scholarship Scams

“If it seems too good to be true it probably is.” Scholarship search services cannot guarantee you a scholarship. Here is a helpful link: http://www.freschinfo.com/tipsscam.php
