Scholarship Tip

Recommendation letters: These are support letters written by people who know you and can attest to either your character, work ethic or academic excellence. Many scholarships ask for academic recommendation letters. This means you must contact your high school teacher (for undergraduates) or university lecturers (for postgraduates) to issue them. Teachers and lecturers are always busy so getting your recommendation letters from them can be challenging. A few tips on how you can go about it:

  1. Pay attention to new scholarship updates: when many scholarships are announced, applicants are usually given a minimum 3-month period to prepare and submit their applications. The earlier you are informed about a scholarship, the earlier you can start asking your teachers for recommendation letters. This gives both you and them time to prepare a good recommendation letter (and make any changes in case one is needed)
  2. Write a draft recommendation letter: Because teachers can be busy and some may not know you very well (If you went to a public university with huge class sizes), it is advisable to have a draft. Highlight your academic strengths in it.
  3. One recommendation cannot be use for every scholarship: It is easy to spot a lazily recommendation letter; very general, can apply to any student, do not have specifics of the scholarship program etc. To avoid this, build a good rapport with your teachers. Let them know you by name and know your work. When a scholarship comes up that you are interested it, make an appointment. Tell them about the details of the scholarship, why you are interested in applying to it and how it ties into your future goals or plans. That way, your teacher can write a relevant recommendation letter for you.

 Good luck!
