推荐信策略

What 奖学金 Applicants Need to Know

If a fellowship requires the college to nominate or endorse candidates (see 代言 below), there are some implications for your conversations with letter writers:

  • 背书可能需要一份 初步提名申请.
  • 你和给你写信的人应该明白，澳门葡京博彩软件认可的申请人数量可能是有限的. Therefore, some internal competitions are competitive.
  • Candidates must anticipate the extra time required to prepare applications. Allow ample time for conversations with mentors, letter writers and fellowship 顾问s. 多份草稿不仅是可取的，而且是寻求大学认可的个人所必需的. 在外部截止日期之前，需要时间完成学院的背书信或候选人的报告.

接近教员和截止日期

  • 被推荐人应该告诉他们的教职员工导师和顾问他们感兴趣的特定奖学金. 请求, 不要以为, 你的导师, 顾问 or teacher will write a letter of recommendation for you. 讨论并提供简洁的资讯，以帮助你的信函作者了解某一特定奖学金的选择标准.
  • 内部的最后期限 are the relevant deadlines for fellowships that require nomination or endorsement.
