JHS Students: With Scholarship application season in full swing, I was reminded that you may need letters of Recommendation for various applications. I wanted to pass along some helpful information regarding letters of recommendation. There is an appropriate way to ask an individual for a letter of recommendation.
1) Please ask the individual that you want to write your letter in person not via email.
2) please give the individual ample time to prepare and write your letter( preferably two to four weeks out from your deadline). DO NOT ASK FOR A LETTER AT 3PM FOR AN APPLICATION THAT HAS A DEADLINE AT 4 PM THE SAME DAY.
3) prepare a document about yourself that you provide the individual giving them information they may not know that will help them write your letter of recommendation. ( I have attached a questionnaire that might help you with this part)
