Assignment #10: Letters of Reference
Most scholarship applications will require at least two letters of reference from a teacher, coach, minister, boss, principal, counselor etc. It is important that you have letters of reference on hand so that you can photocopy them and attach them to your scholarship applications.
You have already requested and received letters of reference from two teachers. This assignment is to ensure that you also have letters of reference from individuals outside of EMCS. Please provide two members of the community, who know you well and appreciate your attributes, with a copy of your scholarship resume, and request that they write you letters of reference for your scholarship applications.
When asking for a letter of reference please remember the following:
1. Don't ever tell your reference that you need the letter by tomorrow - allow him or her two or more weeks.
2. Let him or her know if the letter is for a specific scholarship (explain the required criteria) or a general letter of reference for
all scholarships.
Do you need help applying for scholarships?? Please make an appointment!
