TO THE RECOMMENDER
Please be honest in your assessments: applicants have been asked to waive their right to view
your recommendation to encourage confidentiality. Note how long you have known the
applicant and in what capacity. Also comment on the student’s ability to carry out a Presidential
Scholars project. If you are involved in the project as a Faculty (or Professional) Mentor, please
explain your role. If not, please tell us about what you know about the student’s experiences and
character that would allow them to carry their project through to completion. Specific reference
to elements of the project proposed strengthens recommendations.
We appreciate your support of the Office of Student Research and Creativity’s programs. The
OSRC is located in the Lougheed Center for Applied Learning, Lougheed Learning Commons,
Suite 107.
