Letters of Recommendation

Do you need a letter of Recommendation?

Pick up a brag packet in the Counseling Center or refer to the brag packet below. The information you collect will help the person write a strong letter on your behalf.

Tips:

Ask a teacher, coach, mentor or supervisor to write your letter.
Give the person at least two weeks notice
Use the senior brag packet to collect your thoughtsand provide detailed information about yourself.
Provide a copy of the information the college or the scholarship is requesting
If the letter needs to be mailed directly, provide a stamped envelope to send the letter
Make sure you write a thank you note...the small gesture goes a very long way :)

Step 1: Email a message to your counselor and/or teacher letting them know that you would like to request a letter of recommendation and that you will be completing the online request form. In addition, ask your recommender in person.

Step 2: Email your counselor and/or teacher a copy of your resume and fill out the brag packet. Be sure to make a copy of the packet if you are giving it to multiple people to write letters.
