Teacher Recommendation Form

The student listed below is applying to join the Upward Bound Program at Somerset Community College. We seek recommenda-
tions from one teacher and one guidance counselor at the school the student attends to ensure that we are admitting the best
students to our program.
SCCUB is operated under grants from the US Department of Education and our ultimate goal is to prepare students to enter
and complete post-secondary education. Everything we do is at no cost to the student’s family. We offer many services including
school visits at target high schools, monthly visits to Somerset Community College, cultural trips and a six-week summer pro-
gram at SCC during the months of June and July. The questions on this recommendation will help us assess the students willing-
ness and ability to attend all services offered as well as to learn more about their academic ability. We appreciate your honest
and candid answers to all questions, and all information on this form will be held in condence.
Please return this recommendation to the counseling ofce in a sealed envelope and the guidance counselor will add it to the
student’s application. If you have any questions, please contact us at 270-858-6508 or e-mail SCCUpwardBound@kctcs.edu.
